The Wake Forest Series of Irish Poetry, Vol. II (2)

What does it mean to be an Irish poet? Each of the five poets included in this volume--Seán Lysaght, Moya Cannon, Thomas McCarthy, John F. Deane, and Máire Mhac an tSaoi--provides a distinctive answer to this question. Like the first volume of The Wake Forest Series of Irish Poetry, the second volume introduces poets of varying ages and regions to a North American audience, showing through the eyes of contemporary poets what Ireland is like and how it is changing.
