Late Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781847772435)

The five most recent volumes of poetry published by Thomas Kinsella's own Peppercanister Press--Marginal Economy, Man of War, Belief and Unbelief, Fat Master, and Love Joy Peace--are gathered together in this collection of the Irish luminary's late work. Each volume is a coherent whole but also constitutes a section of the ongoing project of his writing, and together the sections explore the great themes of the spirit, the body, and the body politic. The poems themselves--and sometimes even their syntax--remain open-ended and susceptible to new experience, opening up a new world of possibility to readers time after time. This collection offers a unique opportunity to become acquainted with the work of a writer at the heart of modern Irish poetry who is an heir of the tradition bestowed by W. B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, and W. H. Auden.
