Item description from seller

First edition, first printing. Hardcover issue. Publisher's original black cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in the Edward McGuire illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout, and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with fine original dustwrapper that is without fading, loss, or tears. The first edition was published in simultaneous paperback and hardback editions, on 18 September 2001. A loving tribute to Hartnett's forty year-long poetry career, this collection includes 'Poems 1958-1970', 'Secular Prayers'(1967), 'Anatomy of a Cliché' (1968), 'Thirteen Sonnets' (1968), 'Notes on My Contemporaries' (1969), 'Maiden Street' (1967), 'Prisoners' (1968), 'The Retreat of Ita Cagney' (1975), 'Inchicore Haiku' (1985), 'New Poems' (1990-1999), and a selection of poems taken from 'A Farewell to English' (1975), 'Poems to Younger Women' (1988), 'The Killing of Dreams' (1992), and 'Selected and New Poems' (1994). A former poetry editor of The Irish Times, Hartnett was a member of Aosdána, the Affiliation of Creative Artists in Ireland, and a recipient of numerous literary and poetry awards during his lifetime, including the Irish Poetry Prize (1980), a Poetry Ireland Choice (1987), and awards from the Irish American Cultural Institute (1986, 1988) and the American Ireland Literary Fund Award (1975, 1980, and 1990). Michael Hartnett sadly passed away on 13th October 1999, at the age of 58. The Éigse Michael Hartnett, a poetry festival established in 2000, is held annually in Newcastle West, County Limerick, in his honour (Poetry Foundation, 2025).
