Description
Denis Devlin's Collected Poems offers a unique perspective on modernist and modernising influences on Irish poetry. First published in 1989, this reissue provides an opportunity for contemporary readers to re-evaluate the complex body of work of a poet often cited as a key figure in post-modernism. The collection has attracted readers who have taken Devlin's writing to represent a kind of poetic ambition that anticipates current trends. However, his reputation also rested on misunderstanding during his time in diplomatic service in Washington. This reissue includes an introductory essay by JCC Mays, which provides a nuanced and insightful exploration of Devlin's work. Twenty years after its original publication, this edition affords readers the chance to engage with a challenging and thought-provoking body of poetry.
