Kavanagh belongs all over the place, high and low, far and wide. Kavanagh is a truly representative modern figure in that his subversiveness was turned upon himself: dissatisfaction, both spiritual and artistic, is what inspired his growth.

The first comprehensive selection of Kavanagh's poetry to be published, this volume offers a timely reassessment of a poet unfairly neglected outside Ireland.

Reviews about Selected Poems (3):
Uriel
My relationship with poetry is a tortured one and I end up dumping off many books of verse I can't seem to wrap my mind around. But this is something special. I sat down one night and read almost the entire book, while I've never been able to get Seamus Heaney. Perhaps Kavanagh is just more accessible, but his is a deep and soul lifting accessibility. These poems grabbed me and on many occasions made my heart sing.

Patrick Kavanagh was unknown to me until I read a story about him in an Irish magazine this spring. There were excerpts of some of his poems, and I loved them, so I ordered this book. I'm so glad I did! The book is the perfect introduction to his work for a new reader, and I'm inspired to learn more about Irish poetry in general. I rely on Amazon to give me access to materials from all kinds of authors, music and traditions when I learn of them in the media.
