Prose Occasions Zusammenfassung

Prose Occasions: 1951-2006 Thomas Kinsella

This is a career-spanning selection of the essays and reviews of one of the greatest living Irish poets. This book makes widely available for the first time several key works in modern Irish literature, such as Kinsella's classic essay on the Gaelic poetry tradition. Thomas Kinsella was recently awarded the Freedom of Dublin City, an accolade given to a select few that has included John F. Kennedy, Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa.This title contains essays on W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, Austin Clarke, Louis le Brocquy and Sean O Riada. Also included are Kinsella's insightful discussions of his own poetry, some of them previously unpublished. Thomas Kinsella's career as an astute literary reviewer is reflected in assessments of work by W.H. Auden, Donald Davie, William Empson, Robert Graves, Louis MacNeice, and Marianne Moore, among others. Thomas Kinsella is widely known as the translator of "The Tain" and "Poems of the Dispossessed".

Prose Occasions Bewertungen

"Kinsella is by now the most formidable presence in Irish poetry, a man whose work has achieved a community and sustained power which is all the more impressive when we look at the comparatively scattered and broken achievements of predecessors like Devlin, Clarke and Kavanagh. R.F. Garfitt, Modern Irish Poetry 'He is the great poet of the Republic as surely as Seamus Heaney is the poet laureate of Northern Ireland. From the early, precise metrical poems like 'Baggot Street Deserta' to the post-Poundian sweep and ambition of the present cycle of 'Peppercannister Poems', Thomas Kinsella continues to write in an innovative and mind-stretching way.' The Irish Times"
