Paperback. Condizione: Good. Widely regarded as the finest poet of his generation, Seamus Heaney is the subject of numerous critical studies, but no book-length portrait has appeared before now. Through his own lively and eloquent reminiscences, Stepping Stones retraces Heaney's steps from his first exploratory testing of the ground as an infant to what he called his "moon-walk" to the podium to receive the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature. It also fascinatingly charts his post-Nobel life and is supplemented with a number of photographs, many from the Heaney family album and published here for the first time. In response to firm but subtle questioning from Dennis O'Driscoll, Heaney sheds a personal light on his work (poems, essays, translations, plays) and on the artistic and ethical challenges he faced during the dark years of the Ulster Troubles. Combining the spontaneity of animated conversation with the considered qualities of the best autobiographical writing, Stepping Stones provides an original, diverting, and absorbing store of reflections and recollections. Scholars and general readers alike are brought closer to the work, life, and creative development of a charismatic and lavishly gifted poet whose latest collection, District and Circle, was awarded the T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry in 2006. bing store of reflections and recollections.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. "O'Driscoll is a quietly exciting, subtly intelligent poet."--Poetry London "O'Driscoll's crisp, unobtrusively musical precision gets to the heart of so many subjects, large and small."--The Guardian "O'Driscoll is a real poet: his lines stay with you, and crop up unbidden in your mind as you go about your day."--Poetry Ireland Review Update, the final collection of work by the late Dennis O'Driscoll, weaves a memoir of his past into the state of the world today. The poems embark on a vivid journey through consumerism, our environment, and our fragile existence. Update is O'Driscoll's parting gift, granting a shimmering glimpse of what it truly means to be human. Ticking the Boxes Tick the relevant boxes in this census form tonight if you are still in the land of the living at that time. You must remain in suspense until then. You have all morning still.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. "One of the best-read men in the Western world" is how Poetry Review describes Irish poet-critic Dennis O'Driscoll. Quote Poet Unquote, his compilation of contemporary quotations on all things poetry-related, proves that judgment spot on. The book grew out of O'Driscoll's column "Pickings and Choosings" for Poetry Ireland Review, and contains nearly two thousand smart sayings obsessively gleaned from six hundred sources--including powerhouse critics, prize-winning poets, world leaders, and newspaper headlines. The voices in this volume are by turns provocative, deadpan, humorous, and inspirational: "If you dribble past five defenders, it isn't called sheer prose."--Tom Leonard "I do not give the honorific name of 'poetry' to the primitive and the unaccomplished."--Helen Vendler, The New York Times "I started a PhD in English at the University of Chicago because I loved poetry--which I now realize is like saying I studied vivisection because I loved dogs."--Michael Donaghy, Verse Organized by headings as forthright as "What Is It Anyway?" as playful as "Prose and Cons" and "No, Thanks" (on bad poetry), this collection is both a reference work and a supremely entertaining take on the poetry world. Quote Poet Unquote offers incontrovertible evidence--thousands of pieces of it--that poetry, and the passionate discourse it generates, is alive and kicking. Dennis O'Driscoll, former editor of Poetry Ireland Review, is the author of seven books of poetry and a collection of essays. He lives in Ireland.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Dennis O'Driscoll's fifth collection contains poems in which his cool and unflinching vision lends a pungent originality to his treatment of love and death as well as to subjects as diverse - and improbable - as economic boom, business travel and Alzheimer's disease. By contrast, the book also contains more lyrical and personal poems, including the tender and evocative childhood sequence with which the collection ends. "Weather Permitting" follows O'Driscoll's widely praised "Quality Time" (1997) which contained his celebrated long poem, "The Bottom Line", described by Alan Brownjohn in "The Sunday Times" as 'devastatingly accurate, and scary'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
