Theo Dorgan was born in Cork in 1953 and is one of Ireland's best
known poets. Theo Dorgan's Greek is a vivid, sensual, technically
brilliant new collection which transports the reader through time
and space, history and myth, love and death. The Greek Gods and
Goddesses walk again, as real as we are, in the islands of 21st
century Greece in a poetry which is singingly alive to the
pleasures of being here now. This is the language of 'undying''
Writing from "the childhood of the world" in Greece, Dorgan finds
his identity as an Islander, as a lover and as a poet made new
again, with increased authority and a deep understanding of the
power and alchemy of myth; sharing with us his relish of "the great
slant freedom of our craft." He demonstrates also a real gift for
the short lyric poem in the middle section, 'Islands', each poem
here being utterly of its brief moment as "the stars come out on
the life that I call mine." Carol Ann Duffy
