Rebecca Troeger From Image to Image Maker: Contemporary Irish Women Poets and the National Tradition • The Irish literary tradition has always been inextricably bound with the idea of image-making. Because of ueland's historical status as a colony, and of Irish people's status as dispossessed of their land, it has been a crucial necessity for Irish writers to establish a sense of unique national identity. Since the nationalist movement that lead to the formation of the Insh Free State in 1922 and the concurrent Celtic Literary Re\'ivaJ, in which writers like Yeats, O'Casey, and Synge shaped a nationalist consciousness based upon a mythology that was drawn only partially from actual historical documents, the image of Nation a. -

Precursors, the Environment and the West in Seamus Heaney’S “Postscript”
Estudios Irlandeses, Issue 13, March 2018-Feb. 2019, pp. 69-81 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI Precursors, the Environment and the West in Seamus Heaney’s “Postscript” Ross Moore Independent scholar, Belfast Copyright (c) 2018 by Ross Moore. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. Being the final poem in Heaney’s 1996 collection The Spirit Level, situates the poem “Postscript” significantly in Heaney’s poetic oeuvre. The collection was Heaney’s first to be published after winning the Nobel Prize for literature, it was also his first published amidst the changed social and political context following the 1994 paramilitary ceasefires in Northern Ireland. Here, I will explore the manner in which “Postscript” interacts with previous work by Heaney. Looking closely at the language, imagery and procedures of the poem, I argue that the poem embodies a fundamental shift in Heaney's approach to the natural environment but that this change is reliant on poetic procedures which Heaney had come to trust early in his career. Heaney's descriptive precision and openness to the “marvellous” combine to produce a uniquely effective poem. “Postscript” treats the natural world and the human subject in a manner atypical of Heaney's procedures yet stands among his most accomplished work. I will consider the manner in which Heaney's poem simultaneously exists “post” the “scripts” of literature mythologizing the West of Ireland while remaining in close dialogue with perhaps the most famous of these: Yeats's poem “The Wild Swans at Coole”. -
The Complex Past the Door: a Life of James Liddy
Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette English Faculty Research and Publications English, Department of 1-1-2011 The omplexC Past the Door: a Life of James Liddy Tyler Farrell Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. "The ompC lex Past the Door: a Life of James Liddy," in Selected Poems. Eds. James Liddy and John Redmond. Dublin: Arlen House, 2011: 135-143. Permalink. © 2011 Arlen House. Used with permission. THE COMPLEX PAST THE DOOR A LIFE OF JAMES LIDDY Tyler Farrell Louis Zukofsky wrote, "As a poet I have always felt that the work says all there needs to be said of one's life". This more than aptly fits when describing the life of James Liddy. If a reader of Liddy wants to discover James, all he needs to do is examine the poetry, the letters, the essays; and the short biographies at the back of poetry magazines, books and anthologies. Liddy's life is scattered in his extensive body of work. He was a generous person who invited many into his world. He lived long and, because he honoured youth, never became cynical. He worked hard at the conviction that poetry and the self were sacrosanct. Who is James Liddy? Since James wrote many of his own biographical notes, as well as two late-life autobiographies, we can hear his voice and humour, feel his undying sense of art. Here is the small biographical note on the back cover of A White Thought in a White Shade, his first selected poems, published in 1987: 135 - James Liddy was born on the night of the long knives and learnt to live in Dublin, Kilkee and Co. -

McCurry: "Our Lady, dispossessed": Female Ulster Poets and Sexual Politics "Our1/Our Lady, dispossessed": Female Ulster Poets and Sexual Politics by JACQUELINE MCCURRY OETRY AND POLITICS, like church and state, should be separated," writes P Belfast critic Edna Longley (185); in Eire and in Northern Ireland this is not the case: the marriage of church and state in the Republic has resulted in constitutional bans on divorce and on abortion; Northern Ireland's Scots Presbyterian majority continues to preventminority Irish-Catholic citizens from having full participationin society. Butwhile mencontinue to control church and state, women have begun to raise their voices in poetry and in protest. Northern Ireland's new poets, through the 1960s and 1970s, were exclusively male: Jan1es Simmons, Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley, Derek Mahon, Paul Muldoon, Seamus Deane, Frank Ormsby, Tom Paulin, and Ciaran Carson dominated the literary scene until the early 1980s. In 1982 Medbh McGuckian published her first book ofpoetry. Since then, she has published two additional collections and achieved international fame, while younger women poets like Janet Shepperson and Ruth Hooley have made their debuts in print. -

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.
