Synopsis
This newly expanded collection of Derek Mahon's poems includes substantial portions of two earlier volumes, The Hudson Letter and The Yellow Book, and concludes with even more recent work. Mahon blends a respect for structure with a modernist style in evocative verses that are abstract yet substantial and combines solid images from nature with elusive, complex human thoughts.
Author Biography: Derek Mahon was born in Belfast. A journalist, screenwriter, and theater critic, he has published several works of poetry. He is a member of the Royal Society of Literature and has won many awards, including the Lannan Award and the C. K. Scott-Moncrieff Translation Prize.
Represents the best of Irish poet Derek Mahon's five principal volumes, from "Night-Crossing" (1968) to "The Hunt By Night" (1982), and collects his more recent work, including "Antarctica" (1985).
