  • A Critical Introduction to the Poetry of Pat Boran
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Firenze University Press: E-Journals Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies, n. 9 (2019), pp. 547-562 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13128/SIJIS-2239-3978-25529 Detached Lyricism and Universal Rootedness: A Critical Introduction to the Poetry of Pat Boran Pilar Villar-Argáiz University of Granada (<[email protected]>) Abstract: Pat Boran is one of the most versatile, polyvalent and innovative voices in contemporary Irish poetry. In spite of his prolific career as a poet, editor, and fiction writer, and the positive reviews his work has received over the years (i.e. Smith 2007; Linke 2009; Dempsey 2011; Cornejo 2016; Kehoe 2018), Boran has received very little critical at- tention in Irish Studies. This critical introduction intends to cover this gap in academia, by offering a more detailed critical appraisal of a poetic voice largely underrated within Irish literary criticism, as O’Driscoll (2007, xiv-xv) laments in his introduction to his Selected Poems. In particular, I will offer a brief critical overview of Boran’s six collections of poetry, and I will concentrate on several aspects which seem to distinguish him as a writer: his sense of “detached lyricism” (that is to say, his intensive biographical but at the same time imper- sonal style); the importance that local rootedness exerts in his work; and his idiosyncratic way of handling themes such as masculinity. Keywords: Contemporary Irish Poetry, Irish Haikus, Masculinity, Pat Boran Pat Boran is one of the most versatile, polyvalent and innovative voices in contemporary Irish poetry.

Venue: College Chapel Free, public event - no booking required 11.30 Memorial discourse by professor Anne Bryson on ‘The life and Times of the late Thekla Beere (1901-1991)’ This year’s Trinity Monday Memorial Discourse will celebrate the life and times of the late Thekla Beere (1901-1991). Beere graduated from TCD in 1923 with a first class honours degree in Legal and Political Science and entered the civil service in the immediate aftermath of the civil war. In 1959, she became the first female Secretary of an Irish government department and it would be thirty-six years before another woman was appointed to such a position. In her retirement she chaired the Commission on the Status of Women and produced a landmark report on women’s rights. An honorary doctorate from TCD and numerous attempts to persuade her to run for the Presidency reflect the esteem in which she was once held but, in the course of the last several decades, her achievements have faded from public consciousness. This MondAy 29 April Memorial Discourse seeks to restore the legacy of a TCD graduate that made a subtly exceptional contribution to Irish life.

  • Stan Smith – Irish Poetry and the Construction
    139 Book Reviews: Writers at Work in Ireland and England Irish Poetry and the Construction of Modern Identity: Ireland between Fantasy and History. By Stan Smith. Dublin: Irish Academic Press, 2005. x + 238 pp. $65.00 cloth, $29.50 paper. The world is not wanting in histories of Irish poetry, or even of twen- tieth-century Irish poetry in particular: I know of at least ten since 1988. Nevertheless, Stan Smith’s Irish Poetry and the Construction of Modern Identity represents an important accomplishment. Smith’s color title, “Ire- land between Fantasy and History,” suggests precisely what he’s after—the ways in which poetry has functioned in the self-conscious shaping of mod- ern Irish identities. Smith’s interest in what he calls, while discussing Pa- draic Fallon, “the compounding and interpretation of story and history” (39), develops from the work he’s undertaken in such books as Inviolable Voice: History and 20th-Century Poetry (1982) or The Origins of Mod- ernism: Eliot, Pound, Yeats and the Rhetorics of Renewal (1994). Smith has always attended to how ideology yokes together signifier and signified. In this book, however, perhaps because questions of tradition and nation have been more overtly a part of nation-building in Ireland than in Britain, post-structuralist and post-colonial theory have inflected Smith’s atten- tion in ways rather more dramatic than I have seen in his earlier work. Theory is rarely Smith’s overt topic; it shows up rather in his ability to see organization rather than organicism, history subjected to question rather than nature subjecting us.
