1979 159 pages "We don't just overhear Kinsella; we watch him ritualize a process of radical understanding and remaking... Kinsella is a serious poet of invention and honesty." - John D.

2007 368 pages “I can’t think of a living poet who writes such incredible sonnets. ... He travels with ease from the Iliad to his local fields. ... It’s hard to tell if he’s a poet of regular life who is good at stumbling upon depth, or a deep poet who knows that the quotidian is precious. And it’s not clear that it matters.” Laurel Maury, The Los Angeles Times $ 50.00Michael Longley - Collected Poems (paperback)Irish Poetry2007 368 pages “...a contemporary who should endure over the life of our language.” Donald Hall “War--what it does to combatants and to their children--becomes a preoccupation throughout Longley’s work. ... Yet marital love and tenderness, domestic calm and pastoral counterpoise also stand among Longley’s signature subjects. ... Longley’s genius is pastoral and commemorative. ...” Publishers Weekly (starred review) $ 18.95Michael Longley - Snow Water (clothbound, ltd. ed.)Irish Poetry | Rare & Collectible[1]_m.jpg "Michael Longley - Snow Water (clothbound, ltd. ed.)")
2004 64 pages "Snow Water marks a decisive moment in Longley's poetic development — as decisive, perhaps as that signalled by Gorse Fires.… Longley's war poetry can stand comparison with the best of its century; and Snow Water adds to the distinguished total, while also doing something radically new." The Guardian $ 50.00 |
