AN ANTHOLOGY OF MODERN IRISH POETRY

This is a first edition of An Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry, edited by the American academic Wes Davis. It is a comprehensive representation of Irish poetic achievement in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from poets such as Austin Clarke and Samuel Beckett, to those who came of age in the turbulent '60s, including Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley; to a new generation of Irish writers such as David Wheatley and Sinéad Morrissey. Each poet is represented by a generous number of poems--there are 800 poems; the table of contents is 27 pages. There are Nobel Prize winners, relative unknowns, by those working in English and Gaelic (translated). There is a historical overview, lots of notes and a short essay on each poet.

976 pages. Lovely paper.

Minor wear to the (unclipped) dust jacket.

There is a crease in the table of contents pages, which appears to be a printing issue.

But there is no evidence that the book has been read. It's in perfect condition.
