In the last fifty years Irish poets have produced some of the most exciting poetry in contemporary literature, writing about love and sexuality, violence and history, country and city. This book, first published in 2003, provides an introduction to major figures such as Seamus Heaney, and also introduces the reader to significant precursors like Louis MacNeice or Patrick Kavanagh, and vital contemporaries and successors: among others, Thomas Kinsella, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill and Paul Muldoon. Readers will find discussions of Irish poetry from the traditional to the modernist, written in Irish as well as English, from both North and South. This Companion provides cultural and historical background to contemporary Irish poetry in the contexts of modern Ireland but also in the broad currents of modern world literature. It includes a chronology and guide to further reading and will prove invaluable to students and teachers alike.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Matthew Campbell has been working in the field of botany and agriculture for 20 years. Since he was a child he loved to spend his days in his grandfather's greenhouse and once he grew up he decided to dedicate his life completely to the study of plants. Shortly after graduating, he discovered that he was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and, while searching for a cure, he became aware of the extraordinary beneficial effects that THC and CBD had on his body. His knowledge of cannabis and its properties led him to manage vast crops of this plant for medicinal purposes (and recently also for recreational ones) in Oregon, an activity to which he still dedicates most of his time.
