Description
Ash Keys: New Selected Poems by Michael Longley
This collection marks a significant milestone in the career of the last surviving member of the 1960s Belfast poetic triumvirate. Spanning thirteen individual collections, Ash Keys showcases Longley's unique range as a lyric poet, exploring themes, genres, and forms that have evolved since the 1960s.
Love, violence, the natural world, art, and the human experience are woven together in these pages, alongside depth, wit, and beauty. Longley's poems of the west of Ireland, which draw on his 'soul landscape' of Carrigskeewaun, have also made him a pioneer of 'eco-poetry'.
