Medbh McGuckian (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684485499)

This wide-ranging study of one of the most innovative, daring, and important poetic voices in contemporary Ireland analyzes Mebdh McGuckian's entire corpus, offering both an original contribution to the field of contemporary Irish literary studies and a readable synthesis of existing criticism that will be useful to academics and students. Thematically and methodologically unique, the book examines previously neglected subjects in McGuckian's work, in particular the poet's exploration of creativity and performativity, while also emphasizing the cohesiveness of individual volumes in light of the poet's constant change and development. This critical investigation allows readers a deeper understanding of McGuckian's topical preoccupations and the evolution of her distinctive poetic voice.
