By Gabriel Fitzmaurice
Gabriel Fitzmaurice has been described as “the best contemporary, traditional, popular poet in English” in Booklist, “a wonderful poet” in the Guardian, “one of Ireland’s leading poets … a master of his art” in Books Ireland and “the Irish A.A. Milne” in the Sunday Tribune. In Gabriel Fitzmaurice: The Poet and His Work, eleven leading writers and scholars from Ireland, Scotland, Hungary and the USA examine Fitzmaurice’s extensive oeuvre, his poetry in English and Irish for adults and for children and his translations from the Irish, in essays that are as lucid as they are perceptive.
Covering a lifetime of creativity, they celebrate a writer who has been hailed as “the people’s poet” in the Irish Independent, “one of our leading translators of Irish poetry into English” in the Irish Catholic and “poetry’s answer to John B. Keane” by poet and critic Fred Johnston. Gabriel Fitzmaurice: The Poet and His Work, edited by Jessie Lendennie, features contributions from Paddy Bushe, Micheal de Mordha, Gyozo Ferencz, Tom Hubbard, James J. Kennelly, Mary Kennelly, Declan Kiberd, Eilis Ní Dhuibhne, Bernard O’Donoghue, Jo Slade and Alan Titley.
