Synopsis
Michael Longley once remarked, `If I knew where poems came from, I'd go there.' In the forty years since his first book, No Continuing City (Dufour, 1969), Longley has shown he has been there many times. This book is firstly a salute to a poet whose formal invention and lyrical depth are exemplary, but it is also an affectionate tribute by sixty writers, artists, and friends to a man of great personal warmth and generosity - who has done so much for the arts in his native Ulster. This Festschrift, with contributions from sixty writers and artists, is published in celebration of Michael Longley's seventieth birthday.

About the Author
Michael Longley, the Ireland Professor of Poetry, was born in Belfast in 1939 and educated the Royal Belfast Academical Institution. After reading classics at Trinity College, Dublin, he taught in schools in Belfast, Dublin and London. He joined the Arts Council of Northern Ireland in 1970, working in literature and the traditional arts as Combined Arts Director before taking early retirement from the post in 1991. He has published eight individual collections of poetry, including Gorse Fires (1991), which won the Whitbread Poetry Award, and The Weather in Japan (2000), which won the Hawthornden Prize, the T. S. Eliot Prize and the Irish Times Poetry Prize. His most recent collection is Snow Water (2004), for which he was awarded the Librex Montale Prize (Milan). In 2001 Longley received the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry, and in 2003 the Wilfred Owen Award. His Collected Poems appeared in 2006. He and his wife, the critic Edna Longley, live and work in Belfast.
