Medbh McGuckian offers an original and wide-ranging analysis of one of the most daring and important poetic voices in contemporary Ireland. It considers the entire corpus of McGuckian’s published work, investigating previously neglected themes, in particular the exploration of creativity and performativity, while also emphasizing the thematic unity of individual volumes in the light of the poet’s constant change and development.
