Collected Poems of Thomas MacGreevy

MacGreevy lived through two events that were to change the course of his life: The Great War and the Irish Civil War, and his poetry stands as a testament to them. His poems and articles appeared in many leading European journals and a collections of poetry, titles simply Poems, was published in London in 1934. While MacGreevy's place in the scheme of 20th c. Irish poetry may be neglected, it has never been negligible. His body of poetry, although small, is highly original, and served as a model for a generation of Irish poets looking for a way around Yeats's enormous shadow. -- Publisher description
