An Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry by Wes Davis
Dealing with the modern Irish poetry, this title presents an interpretation of Irish poetic achievement in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, ranging from poets such as Austin Clarke and Samuel Beckett, through Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley, and to David Wheatley (born 1970) and Sinead Morrissey (born 1972).
The book includes upwards of 50 poets--and there's not a dull page in itEditor Wes Davis's selection is judicious, while his introduction and notes are as informative as they are brief. -- Richard Tillinghast Wall Street Journal 20100424 An incredible bargain, this beautifully produced book (the spacious creamy pages are a great comfort to screen-weary eyeballs), with compact introduction and judicious notes by the editor, has a gem on every page. -- Tom D'Evelyn Providence Journal 20100606 This is a book to be grateful for. -- Robert Gray The Australian 20100901
