Since his precise, potent and subtle portraits of Northern Irish
life first came to public attention in the 1970s, Tom Paulin has
been an unmissable writer on the contemporary poetry scene. This
selection on his work draws on nearly four decades of poetry and
translation, updating and expanding upon the Selected Poems
1972-1990, and showcasing the microscopic detail and reinvention of
the ordinary with which Paulin writes of place, culture and memory.
The Ireland of Paulin's childhood is explored both from a personal
and a historical perspective to form a complex picture of a country
in turmoil and in recovery. But Paulin's concerns are as
international as they are local, as reflected in his long-standing
appetite for European writers, histories and languages. Dialectic
and lyrical, original and exploratory, ambitious and provocative,
Tom Paulin is one of the defining voices of his generation:
brilliantly varied and utterly compelling, as apparent from this
New Selected Poems.
