Thomas Kinsella stands apart in modern Irish poetry. His work, employing traditional and modernist elements in individual poems and open sequences, deals in a range of subjects from the most intense and psychic privacy to political satire and social commentary, from love and the enabling feminine to metaphysical speculation in a variety of earthly settings. Kinsella is a city poet. Born in Dublin in 1928, he attended University College, and entered the Irish Civil Service, but resigned from the Department of Finance in 1965 for a career in poetry in the United States. He published from the beginning with the Dolmen Press, later co-publishing his poetry and translations with Oxford University Press. His translations from the Irish include the Iron-Age prose epic "The Tain" and "Poems of the Dispossessed: 1600-1900". He is editor of the "New Oxford Book of Irish Verse".

Collected Poems

Confronted by crises at the beginning of a new century, the world needs innovative ways of thinking: new kinds of education encouraging the active involvement of the citizen, with intellectuals playing unprecedented roles. Cross-cultural negotiations and alternative understandings of the processes of artistic creation will be at the heart of these responses. One of the main purposes of "The Urgency of Theory" is to continue the discussion of these issues that was begun in "The State of the World", published by Carcanet and the Fundacao Calouste Gulbenkian in 2006. Thirteen distinguished and creative thinkers were invited to present their latest areas of interest in a series of public lectures in Lisbon in 2006. Now collected in this volume, their lectures are challenging, stimulating and empowering, offering ways forward for a culture at turning point.
