Overview
James Liddy is one of Ireland's leading contemporary poets. Combining Kavanagh's sense of local place with the cosmopolitan allegiances of MacNeice, exhibiting a Joycean sensibility that is Catholic, sexually open, and devoted to the quotidian, Liddy has proceeded to write some of the most original poetry to come out of Ireland since Yeats. He has, in particular, produced a very powerful body of poems about sex, for which there is no Irish analogue.This is the first comprehensive study of Liddy's work, placing his work at the forefront of modern Irish literature.
