Memory, love, history and ideas: Thomas McCarthy has a uniquely direct and engaged approach both to the private and the public, which are inseparable in his poetry. His special blend of wit and lyricism is shown to the full in this selection which draws on his five previous books and adds a large group of new poems.
Thomas McCarthy was born in Co. Waterford in 1954 and educated at University College, Cork. He has published six collections of poetry, two novels and a memoir. He has won the Patrick Kavanagh Award, the American-Irish Foundation's Literary Award, and the O'Shaughnessy Prize for Poetry. He has worked for Cork City Libraries since 1987. He is a member of Aosdana.
'Not many poets have the gift of being able to write so tenderly about private affections and so acutely about public figures and events' - Brendan Kennelly'McCarthy has a tone which is very much his own, a kind of burnished commonplace. He writes true satires of circumstance.' - Peter Porter, The Observer'A body of work to be treasured by anyone interested in Irish literature today' - Dermot Bolger, The Sunday Tribune
