Caxton Editions [Published 2001]. Hard cover, 190 pp. First Edition. [Excerpt from jacket flap] This beautifully illustrated book contains an amazing selection of poems which demonstrates the strength of the poetic voice of Ireland, the wit and richness of language, the breath of inspiration which is as strong today as it was in centuries past. This wonderful compilation goes back to the earliest Irish writings which arose from a past shrouded in mystery to the voices of Jonathan Swift, Thomas Moore, Oscar Wilde, and the great poets of the twentieth and the twenty-first century, including - among others - poems by W.B. Yeats, Louis MacNeice, Patrick Kavanagh, Brendan Kennelly and Seamus Heaney, who is justly regarded as one of the outstanding voices of our times, and who was awarded the Whitbread Book of the Year in 1996 and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995.
