Synopsis
A tribute to one of Ireland’s great literary talents, Distant Summers is a collection of prose and poetry by writers, friends, and family members of Philip Casey (1950–2018). Over sixty contributors praise Casey’s gifts as a poet and novelist as well as highlighting their admiration for him as an individual. Casey started out as a poet in his native County Wexford where his earliest work was published by James Liddy in the Gorey Arts Centre broadsheets. He went on to publish a suite of novels known as the Bann River Trilogy—The Fabulists, The Water Star, and The Fisher Child. In addition to a selection of Casey’s work, Distant Summers includes a detailed bibliography of his publications and unpublished prose.

Distant Summers (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "One of our most beloved contemporary poets", is how former Ireland Professor of Poetry Paula Meehan describes Philip Casey (1950-2018). Cherished by many for his tenderness, fortitude, hope and tenacity, Philip was an award-winning novelist, admired poet and vital presence on the Irish literary scene for four decades. Philip battled repeated health challenges, stood up for causes he believed in, and relished making mischief. He was, in the words of the poet Theo Dorgan, "some man for one man". Philip believed in the idea of a community of writers, and his open-mindedness drew others towards him - whether to his Dublin home, or to his grassroots support base in his earlier home of Hollyfort, Co Wexford. His booming laugh and powerful handshake were legendary. The many contributors, including Sebastian Barry, Eilean Ni Chuilleanain, Dermot Bolger, Moya Cannon and Thomas Lynch, praise Philip Casey's gifts as a writer of poetry and fiction, as well as highlighting their admiration for him as a man. Distant Summers: Remembering Philip Casey, Writer, Fabulist, Friend is a kaleidoscopic cornucopia of prose and poetry from writers, friends, and family members. A tribute to one of Ireland's great literary talents, the anthology also includes a detailed bibliography of his published work and unpublished prose. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781851323142
