Inherited Boundaries: The Younger Poets of the Republic of Ireland

A selective anthology from poets born in the Republic of Ireland in the 1950s. In recent years poets from the North have received considerable attention, while those from the South have received less. This tries to level the imbalance. The intention is not to be partisan or divisive, but to illustrate another sort of richness, which, joined to the northern achievement, shows the extraordinary endeavor of one island.
