First published in 1984, Paul Muldoon's The Faber Book of Contemporary Irish Poetry aimed to establish a canon of Irish Poetry since the death of Yeats. Here, the reader can explore substantial selections of the poetry of ten of the most consistently impressive post-war poets - Patrick Kavanagh, Louis MacNeice, Thomas Kinsella, John Montague, Michael Longley, Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Paul Durcan, Tom Paulin, and Medbh McGuckian.
The editor, Paul Muldoon, is widely regarded as the leading Irish poet of his generation. In this anthology, he brings together fellow poets who have preserved and expanded Yeats's legacy.
