Literature
Patrick Kavanagh A Poet’s Country Selected Prose
Patrick Kavanagh
‘One of the best novels to have come out of Ireland in a long time; it chronicles not just a personal and spiritual journey but the state of a nation over forty years. Outstanding.’ – John Boland, Irish Independent
‘An astonishingly clear-sighted and lucid account of a tragic and disputed episode in Irish history … essential reading for anyone interested in the arguments about how the past cut deeply into the way we live in Ireland now.’ – Colm Tóibín
While Patrick Kavanagh (1904–67) was above all a poet, for most of his life he was a prolific author of critical and autobiographical prose – work for newspapers and magazines was often his main source of income. A Poet’s Country is reliable, scholarly, and immensely entertaining. In this collection, edited by Antoinette Quinn, Kavanagh expresses as no other the voice of rural Ireland in the mid-twentieth century.
