Richard Murphy (1927-2018) was one of Ireland's most distinguished
poets, known particularly for poems drawing on the people and
history of the west of Ireland with classical rigour and
'unvarnished' clarity. He emerged in the 1950s with John Montague
and Thomas Kinsella as one of the three major poets in the new
Irish poetic renaissance. The Pleasure Ground expands the scope of
his much acclaimed Collected Poems of 2000 to include a selection
of new poems along with an appendix featuring illuminating
commentary on the historical and personal background of some of his
most notable work, including 'The Cleggan Disaster', 'The God Who
Eats Corn', The Battle of Aughrim, and the poems of High Island.
