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

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
