"At the heart of Gerard Smyth's entire oeuvre is an intriguing
duality. He is an urban poet who emerged as an artist from the
distinctive Dublin modernism of Michael Smith's New Writers' Press,
yet his work over the years has accumulated all the characteristics
of a compelling, Kavanagh-like, story-telling narrative method." So
begins Thomas McCarthy's insightful Introduction to this generous
selection of four decades of Geard Smyth's poetry, in which his
intimacy with his nativy city ("Smyth's synagogue," as McCarthy
calls it) is balanced by a fascination with the wider imaginative
world of Art and of "many journeys," both outward and interior.
Gerard Smyth was born in 1951 in Dublin, where he still lives. His
poetry has been published widely in literary journals in Ireland,
Britain and the United States, as well as in translation, since the
late 1960s. He is the author of several poetry collections,
including Daytime Sleeper (2002), A New Tenancy (2004) and The
Mirror Tent (2007), all from the Dedalus Press. He is a member of
Aosdana.
