irish poetry

A collection of Irish verse written between the 1600s and the 1900s.

Irene Worth joins members of the First Poetry Quartet relating stories and reciting original works of the Irish poet.

Profiles twenty-one Irish poets, including a brief biography of each poet and a list of their works and achievements.

Selected by Thomas Kinsella, a renowned poet and translator, this anthology presents the Irish tradition as unity: verse in Irish and English, usually regarded separately, are shown as elements in a shared and often painful history. As the most wide-ranging anthology available--spanning from the pre-Christian era to the present day, the poems are grouped in three sections. Kinsella's first selections are from the earliest pre-Christian times and move forward to the first poetry in English from the 14th century. Next comes Irish bardic poetry and English poetry in the era of Swift and Goldsmith. The final section brings us to the recent past and the present with 19th- and 20th-century poets from Davis, Mangan, Yeats, and Ferguson to Austin Clarke, Patrick (P. J.) Kavanagh, and Seamus Heaney.

Collected Poems represents poems John Montague has written in his long and remarkable career of 40 years.
