Why Brownlee Left

MULDOON, Paul

Derek Mahon is considered by his peers and readers to be the most remarkable poet of his generation. He was born in 1941 in Belfast, and educated at Trinity, Dublin. He lived for some years in London, and now lives both in Dublin and New York. 'The Hunt by Night' was considered by Seamus Heaney on publication to be Mahon's 'most exuberant and authoritative single volume to date...There is a copiousness and excitement about these poems that is to be found only in work of the highest order.' This book is intended for poets, readers. admirers (many) of Mahon's work.

The Hunt by Night

MAHON, Derek

'These poems delight in a wily, mischievous, nonchalant negotiation between the affections and attachments of Muldoon's own childhood, family and place, and the ironic discriminations of a cool literary sensibility and historical awareness.' Times Literary Supplement

Mount Eagle

Montague’s American readers who expect Mount Eagle to return to the political themes of The Dead Kingdom and his masterwork The Rough Field or to the poignant erotic poetry of Tides and The Great Cloak will find a handful of poems haunting these topics. However, most of this volume departs into new terrain, such as American Indian legends, fish-eye and avian perspectives, and the activities of children and others in life’s borderland. Certain poems here, such as The Hill of Silence,” will earn their permanence in our literature where, in the words of Robin Skelton, John Montague’s voice will always be raised in the ranks of our great poets.” Other poems will offer the pleasure in their sequences of minute and mature observations sounded in a music of the spoken voice.
