Exciting new translation of Ancient Greek text by award-winning poet, critic and university lecturer

New poetry collection by one of the most important Northern Irish writers of his generation.

Focusing on six influential poets who are also critics, Peter McDonald presents a provocative analysis of twentieth-century British and Irish poetry. He examines W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Seamus Heaney, and Geoffrey Hill, arguing that their work is rooted in complexity and cultural discord. By revisiting these elements, McDonald challenges conventional interpretations and highlights the significance of difficulty in their poetry.

Focusing on Northern Irish poetry, the study offers in-depth analyses of prominent poets such as Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon. It critiques nationalist cultural assumptions and explores the intersection of poetry and politics in Northern Ireland. Through illuminating readings, the author reveals how these modern poets engage with and challenge the complexities of their cultural identity and political landscape.
