Description
Celebrating nearly a decade of the Ireland Chair of Poetry, The Poet's Chair brings together public lectures given by the first three Ireland Professors of Poetry, John Montague, Nuala Ni Dhomnhaill and Paul Durcan, during their time in tenure. From the challenge of translation and a turbulent Turkish odyssey to a vignette of literary Dublin during the early Sixties and incisive analysis of the work of Anthony Cronin, Michael Hartnett and Harry Clifton, this collection highlights the intellectual strength and diversity of Ireland's poetic elite and affirms the reputation of the Ireland Chair of Poetry as a vibrant and flourishing arena for the best thinkers of the island.
