Collected Poems of Thomas MacGreevy

Résumé du livre

Thomas MacGeevy (1893-1967), translator, literary and art critic, and Director of the National Gallery of Ireland from 1950-1963, is less frequently remembered as a poet. MacGeevy saw one volume of his poetry in print, a slim blue book entitled Poems. Published in 1934, this collection represented the work from the mid-1920s to the early 1930s, when MacGeevy was discovering his poetic voice. By 1941, he wrote little verse and rarely adverted his earlier collection. Thus it was not unil after his death that poets in Ireland began to discover his work.
