Derek Mahon is one of the leading poets of his time, both in
Ireland and beyond, famously offering a perspective that is
displaced from as much as grounded in his native country. From
prodigious beginnings to prolific maturity, he has been, through
thick and thin, through troubled times and other, a writer
profoundly committed to the art of poetry and the craft of making
verse. He has also been no-less a committed reviser of his work,
believing the poem to be more than a record in verse, but a work of
art never finished.
This virtuoso study by Hugh Haughton provides the most
comprehensive account imaginable of Mahon's oeuvre. Haughton's
brilliant writing always serves and illuminates the poetry,
yielding extraordinary insights on almost every page. The poetry,
its revisions and reception, are the subject here, but so thorough
is the approach that what is offered also amounts indirectly to an
intellectual biography of the poet and with it an account of
Northern Irish poetry vital to our understanding of the times.
