 | School Poems
Publication Date: July 3, 2009These poems were written during my first two years of teaching. I wrote them when standing or sitting in front of my students, not knowing what else to do with myself. I wrote them during staff meetings. I wrote them late at night, the terror of the next day building within me. I wrote them as a way to process and report experiences as they were happening to me, like a kind of poetry-journalism or memoir. Simply put, the poems are meant to show something about education. In my two years at Archbishop Carroll I saw some of the depths of the meaning of this idea, ...

|  | Poems and Exiles (Twentieth Century Classics)
Publication Date: January 2, 1992| ISBN-10: 0140185550 | ISBN-13: 978-0140185553It is only James Joyce's towering genius as a novelist that has led to the comparative neglect of his poetry and sole surviving play. And yet, argues Mays in his stimulating and informative introduction, several of these works not only occupy a pivotal position in Joyce's career; they are also magnificently assured achievements in their own right. Chamber Music is 'an extraordinary debut', fusing the styles of the nineties and the Irish Revival with irony and characteristic verbal exuberance. "Pomes Penyeach ...

|  | The Poor Bugger's Tool: Irish Modernism, Queer Labor, and Postcolonial History
Publication Date: July 16, 2012With the weakening moral authority of the Catholic Church, the boom ushered in by the Celtic Tiger, and the slow but steady diminishment of the Troubles in the North, Ireland has finally stepped out from the shadows of colonial oppression onto the world stage as a major cosmopolitan country. Taking its title from a veiled reference to Roger Casement-the humanitarian and Irish patriot hanged for treason-in James Joyce's Ulysses, The Poor Bugger's Tool demonstrates how the affective labor of Irish queer culture might contribute to a progressive new national image...
|  | Stepping Stones: Interviews with Seamus Heaney
Release Date: December 9, 2008Widely regarded as the finest poet of his generation, Seamus Heaney is the subject of numerous critical studies, but no book-length portrait has appeared before now. Through his own lively and eloquent reminiscences, Stepping Stones retraces the poet’s steps from his first exploratory testing of the ground as an infant to what he called his “moon-walk” to the podium to receive the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature. It also fascinatingly charts his post-Nobel life and is supplemented with a number of photographs, many from the Heaney family album a...

|  | District and Circle: Poems
Release Date: April 3, 2007| ISBN-10: 0374530815 | ISBN-13: 978-0374530815| Edition: 1st District and Circle inhabits the eerie new conditions of a menaced twenty-first century. In their haunted, almost visionary clarity, the poems assay the weight and worth of what has been held in the hand and in the memory. Scenes from a childhood spent far from the horrors of World War II are colored by a strongly contemporary sense that "Anything can happen," and other images from the dangerous present--a fireman's helmet, a journey on the Underground, a melting glacier--are fraught with this same a...

|  | Strawberry Lips: Memoirs of a Mosotho Woman
Publication Date: June 8, 2012A multitude of books have been written about the Kingdom in the Sky, yet not one book has emerged out of Lesotho more personal, balancing candor and creative ability to bring alive a cosmopolitan Mosotho confronting, among other things, her own Mosothoness or lack thereof in the face of a fast changing world. Admittedly the emergence of such a book might have been anticipated; however the Mountain Kingdom’s literary diamond will leave you wondering how she birthed with seeming ease this mainly satirical gem. ‘…not all women go through life j...

|  | Words Alone: Yeats and His Inheritances
Publication Date: July 15, 2011Roy Foster's two-volume biography of Yeats was hailed in the New York Review of Books as "a triumph of scholarship, thought, and empathy such as one would hardly have thought possible in this age of disillusion." Now, Foster turns his focus to the largely unacknowledged influences that shaped the young W.B. Yeats. So dramatic and revolutionary was Yeats' impact on Irish literature that the writers and traditions that preceded him are often overlooked, just as his successors are often overshadowed by his achievement. In Words Alone, Roy Foster explores the Irish...
|  | James Joyce's Chamber Music: The Lost Song Settings
Publication Date: June 1993James Joyce's first published work, a little book of poems entitled "Chamber Music", appeared in 1907. Graceful, delicate, and patterned after Elizabethan 'ayres', the lyrics heralded the musical quality of language intrinsic to Joyce's genius. Joyce himself called the poems 'a suite of songs' and stated that they 'were meant to be set to music'. Joyce described the settings by Geoffrey Molyneux Palmer (1882-1957) as 'elegant' and 'distinguished' and made strenuous efforts to get them published and performed. However, the composer was strangely reluctant, and for m...
