Synopsis
Aidan Mathews’s first book, Windfalls, contained poems which won The Patrick Kavanagh Award in 1976. Seamus Deane writes — ‘Aidan Mathews’s first volume Windfalls, distinguished in itself, gave promise for the future. Minding Ruth fulfils, if it does not indeed go beyond the expectations roused by that first volume. These poems are preoccupied with experiences rending enough in themselves — the deaths of people known to the writer and of people, children in particular, unknown to him except in death — but their deepest concern is with the discovery or rediscovery of such experiences in and through poetry.’
