He is a master craftsman whose Collected Poems brings his work before us in all its range and variety, its strength and humanity' -- The Irish Times A new selection of work by Austin Clarke, one of the most significant poets of twentieth-century Ireland \" whose short lyrics remain among Ireland's best-loved poems. This revelatory new selection shows how Clarke's life and work describe the tensions between a national and international audience. His poems track the development of Irish independence, beginning with idealistic visions of the past but increasingly focused on social justice in the world around him. Celebrated by Thomas Kinsella, Eavan Boland and others in Ireland, and by critics internationally, including Christopher Ricks and Donald Davie, Austin Clarke remains a poet of 'other voices', whose moving, ingenious, sparkling lyric and narrative poems still speak to us of other times and places.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carcanet Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57300395655550,"sku":"9781800175570","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1331\/9925\/files\/1776432506.jpg?v=1776939892","url":"https:\/\/www.poetrybooks.co.uk\/products\/mist-becoming-rain-selected-poems-of-austin-clarke","provider":"The Poetry Book Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
