The Art of the Caveman
Author: John Mc Donagh
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443816442
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
The first monograph on the poetry of Paul Durcan, this book deals thematically with the dominant concerns evident from his first solo collection, O Westport in the Light of Asia Minor, published in 1975, up to, and including, The Days of Surprise, published in 2015. His work is marked by an unnerving emotional honesty and a recurring desire to undermine the pomposity of an Ireland struggling under the weight of inherited inconsistencies. One of the central arguments here is that Durcan has captured, more than any other poet of his generation, the complexities and contradictions inherent in Ireland’s emergence from the early, difficult decades of independence. The complex relationship between the public and private in his poetry is also explored, as well as the poet’s unflinching examination of his deepest personal relationships.
