Patrick Kavanagh : Man and Poet
This substantial volume gives the Irish poet and novelist a hitherto unexampled dimension, authority, and authenticity. Besides the assessments of such critics as Vivienne Abbott, Robert Creeley, Augustine Martin, and Francis Boylan, the Man and Poet volume includes the personal memories and poignant and hilarious anecdotes of others who early or late had crossed his path either briefly or for longer periods of time but always with the sense of having met a human being more alive than most. Man and Poet is particularly valuable for pieces by Patrick Kavanagh himself which make up a kind of running autobiography and for an “Anthology” of poems which show his range of style and subject.
