Description for Reading the Ground: The Poetry of Thomas Kinsella
Paperback.
Thomas Kinsella began writing in the early 1950s when Irish poets were struggling to emerge from what he identified as the ""double shadow of Yeats and English verse"".

It also offers a new reading of Kinsella's evolving relationship to one of his major literary forebears, W.B. Yeats. ... Read more
