Excellent Verse
Phillipe Jaccotet has enough of the child like inquisition in all of us and enough of an appeal to the beautiful and romantic, to off set his imaginitive language, his modern sensibilities.

But jaccotet is a genius worth getting to know. I recomend buying this book to all those interested in French poetry in the surrealist or any other tradition. ... Read more

A good traditional anthology
This is a good book to use in tandem with Muldoon's Faber Book of Contemporary Irish Poetry and Crotty's Modern Irish Poetry for the understanding of contemporary Irish poetry. It allocates its main space toKinsella, Heaney, Montague, Mahon, Muldoon and Durcan, in that order. Someof the poets may hold the substantial space allotted to them because theywere important two and three decades ago, but this anthology nonethelesssparkles in the selections it makes from these poets, and in the inclusionof Deane, Grennan, Mathews and Sirr. The editor Mahon has made anoutstanding selection from his own work, and the book is a goodintroduction to the important, mischievous work of Michael Hartnett. As ananthology it has a unified and valid character all its own in thepresentation of contemporary Irish poetry. ... Read more
