Synopsis
Thomas Kinsella is among the most distinguished modern poets. His work over fifty years has challenged and enriched the poetic landscape. Rooted in locality, Kinsella's poetry employs myth and modernism in explorations that range from intense lyricism to political satire and social commentary. This representative selection of the poetry he has published from 1956 to 2006 invites readers to explore the range of his poetic world.

Hardback. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1991. [viii], 280pp. "Austin Clarke (1896 - 1974) is second only to Yeats among Irish poets. Setting out as the independent Irish state came into existence, he dedicated his life to an imaginative excavation of personal, historical, political and spiritual repression; . An extensive and thoughtful introduction by the editor reclaims Clarke as a radical Christian humanist. With this volume a neglected master is relocated on the map of twentieth-century poetry." There is some light rubbing to the top edge of the unclipped dust jacket. Top edge of book slightly dusty. Both book and dust jacket are otherwise in excellent condition. All contents are tight and clean. There are no inscriptions. Seller Inventory # PoetClarke01
