{"product_id":"an-anthology-of-modern-irish-poetry-9780674072220","title":"An Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry","description":"Never before has there been a single-volume anthology of modern Irish poetry so significant and groundbreaking as \u003ci\u003eAn Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e. Collected here is a comprehensive representation of Irish poetic achievement in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from poets such as Austin Clarke and Samuel Beckett who were writing while Yeats and Joyce were still living; to those who came of age in the turbulent '60s as sectarian violence escalated, including Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley; to a new generation of Irish writers, represented by such diverse, interesting voices as David Wheatley (born 1970) and Sin ad Morrissey (born 1972). Scholar and editor \u003cb\u003eWes Davis\u003c\/b\u003e has chosen work by more than fifty leading modern and contemporary Irish poets. Each poet is represented by a generous number of poems (there are nearly 800 poems in the anthology). The editor's selection includes work by world-renowned poets, including a couple of Nobel Prize winners, as well as work by poets whose careers may be less well known to the general public; by poets writing in English; and by several working in the Irish language (Gaelic selections appear in translation). Accompanying the selections are a general introduction that provides a historical overview, informative short essays on each poet, and helpful notes--all prepared by the editor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belknap Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674072220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 1.80d","brand":"Wes Davis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42916958339253,"sku":"9780674072220","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d25934e9-1d4b-4872-a9e7-67b07d012077.jpg?v=1687274430","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/an-anthology-of-modern-irish-poetry-9780674072220","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
