About the Book

Ian Duhig’s witty and bizarre poems are profane and profound, often drawing on tall tales and strange episodes from history, Irish legend and colonial lore. Shortlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Award. 'Ian Duhig's world is an exciting blend of the old and the new, the tragic and the comic, the grave and the light-hearted… He rifles mythologies, histories, legends and folklores in a manner that is at once devastating and disarming.' - Brendan Kennelly

About the Author :
Born in 1954, Ian Duhig was the eighth of eleven children born to Irish parents with a liking for poetry. He has won the National Poetry Competition twice, and also the Forward Prize for Best Poem; his collection, The Lammas Hireling (2003) was a Poetry Book Society Choice, and was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize and Forward Prize for Best Collection. Chosen as a New Generation Poet in 1994, he has received Arts Council and Cholmondeley Awards, and has held various Royal Literary Fund fellowships at universities including Lancaster, Durham, Newcastle and his own alma mater, Leeds. His first three collections were published by Bloodaxe: The Bradford Count (1991), which was shortlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Award, The Mersey Goldfish (1995), which was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize, and Nominies (1998), a Poetry Book Society Special Commendation.

Review :
A remarkable book…essential reading for anybody who wants to know what is going on in poetry being written in England today…Although Duhig’s virtuosity in monologue and burlesque might tempt some to view him as an entertainer who bought the encyclopedia he was meant to sell, the poems offer a great deal more than gags. An exciting blend of the old and new, the tragic and comic, the grave and the light-hearted… Ian Duhig sets out to create his own proverbial world Profound and uproariously funny – satire that carries messages for our age.
