The centenary of Patrick Kavanagh&s birth in 2004 provides the ideal opportunity to reappraise one of modern Ireland&s greatest poets From a harsh humble background that he himself described so brilliantly Kavanagh burst through immense constraints to redefine Irish poetry
- a poetry appropriate for a fully independent country both politically & culturally Moving beyond Irish verse&s preoccupation with history national politics & identity he turned to the land & scenery of his native Inniskeen portraying the closely-observed minutiae of everyday rural & urban life in an uninhibited groundbreaking style Lucid various direct & engaging Kavanagh&s poems have a unique place in the canon & a unique accessibility This major new edition is the culmination of many years of work by Antoinette Quinn in creating authoritative texts for Kavanagh&s poetry
- from his early works such as & Inniskeen Road July Evening& to his masterpiece the epic & The Great Hunger& allowing us to see the development of Kavanagh&s genius as never before
