The Watchful Heart A New Generation of Irish Poets : Poems and Essays

"The Watchful Heart - A New Generation of Irish Poets - Poems and Essays is an anthology of the work of twenty-four Irish poets born in the last fifty years. It contains biographical and bibliographical details of each contributor, together with photographs. All poets included have published at least two collections of poetry. Poetry in Irish with translations is also included. None of the poetry in this anthology has previously been published in collection form and most of the essays are published here for the first time. McBreen's anthology The White Page/ An Bhileog Bhan: Twentieth-Century Irish Women Poets (Salmon Poetry, 1999) is now in its third reprint." --Book Jacket.
