| Abstract: |
General introduction to the field, which asserts the need for far more critical attention to be devoted to the neo-modernist strain in Irish poetry, while problematising the usual distinction operated by critics and reviewers between 'alternative' and 'mainstream' poetries, and comparing the Irish situation unfavourably with those iobtaining in the UK and US. Briefly discusses Eugene Watter's The Week-End of Dermot and Grace and New Writers' Press, and the work (including the most recent) of Geoffrey Squires, Trevor Joyce, Maurice Scully and Catherine Walsh. |
