Product Description
Product Description
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.
About the Author
Born in 1941 in Belfast, Mahon read French at Trinity College, Dublin. His first book NIGHT CROSSING was published by OUP in 1968. He moved to London in the 70s where he worked as a literary journalist, but now lives again in Dublin.

Excellent Verse
25 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
Phillipe Jaccotet has enough of the child like inquisition in all of us and enough of an appeal to the beautiful and romantic, to off set his imaginitive language, his modern sensibilities. I am no poetry expert, but reading the very musical verse of Jaccotet is positively a joy. Of course i didn't like all of the poetry in the book, the later ones seemed dreary. But jaccotet is a genius worth getting to know. I recomend buying this book to all those interested in French poetry in the surrealist or any other tradition.
