Selected Poems - Michael Longley

This is Michael Longley's own selection from thirty years of writing. It reveals the strength and coherence of an extraordinary body of work, which has been celebrated--in Britain and Ireland, but also in the United States--for its lyric intensity, metaphysical wit, and thematic and formal range. Includes selections from No Continuing City (1969), An Exploded View (1973), Man Lying on a Wall (1976), The Echo Gate (1979), New Poems, Gorse Fires (1991), and The Ghost Orchid (1995).
