"One of the most gifted imaginations in contemporary poetry." Douglas Dunn, Irish Literary Supplement

John Montague's newest volume was published in a quality paperback with flaps in the spring of 2012.

One of the most beloved voices in all of Ireland, John Montague is a master. Speech Lessons depicts the many ways in which a voice may be silenced, as well as released. Autobiographical poems reveal both his personal history and his country's, with humor, nostalgia, disappointment and affection, and more than a "titter of wit."

A deep selection of poems by one of Ireland's most esteemed poets. 

"Thomas Kinsella is a Titan among Irish writers, in more senses than one. ... With unique memorability and force these poems, in the words of 'Belief and Unbelief,' coax us to follow their author in search of understanding 'back to the dark / and the depth that i cam from.' No one who cares about poetry should hesitate to embark on the journey." The Guardian

"generations of poets, in Ireland as well as Britain, who have learned so much from NacNeice--formally as well as in other ways--who provide the most potent argument for his poetry's continuing life. Two Irish poets in particular--Derek Mahon and Paul Muldoon--would be unrecognisable without MacNeice's example and influence..."  from Peter McDonald's Introduction to the U. S. edition
