About the Book

Derek Mahon called John Montague 'the best Irish poet of his generation'. He commanded a pivotal place in contemporary Iris poetry: a vital link between the generation of Patrick Kavanagh and younger poets like Heaney, Mahon and Muldoon, whose style and internationalism owe much to his example. New Selected Poems is a sampler of poems from the eight collections he had published by 1990. It includes much of his best-known work, from the seminal poem 'Like Dolmens round my childhood, the Old People' and lyrics such as 'Herbert Street Revisited' to the magisterial meditation 'The Hill of Silence'. The book reveals one of the most prophetic, generous and moving voices of our time.

About the Author :
John Montague (1929-2016) was one of Ireland’s leading poets, and was the first holder of the Ireland Chair of Poetry. He published three books of poetry with Bloodaxe during the 1980s. His major poetry publications include The Rough Field, The Great Cloak, The Dead Kingdom, Mount Eagle, Time in Armagh and Smashing the Piano. His Collected Poems appeared from the Gallery Press in 1995, the year he received the American Ireland Fund Literary Award. His recent Gallery titles include Drunken Sailor (2004) and Speech Lessons (2011). His New Collected Poems was published in 2012, and followed by his posthumously published final collection Second Childhood in 2017. He translated Francis Ponge’s Selected Poems with Margaret Guiton and C.K. Williams (Wake Forest University Press, USA & Faber, UK).

Review :
Montague is the Éluard of Ireland, a craftsman of great subtlety and highly sensitive student of people and things. John Montague's voice will always be raised in the ranks of the great poets of our literature.
