In later years, Montague's American and European interests became as apparent as his Irish ones, making him a bridge to the younger generation of Irish poets. Undertaken by Montague and Elizabeth Wassell prior to the poet's death in December 2016, this selection includes work from fourteen volumes written over more than fifty years. With a preface by Wassell
