Description

Represented in all modern anthologies by his great poem on Irish history "A Disused Shed in Co Wexford", Derek Mahon is regarded with Heaney and Longley as the leader of the resurgence of Irish poetry. He writes lyric poetry of elegance and scepticism. Revisiting his older work, this title also contains work from his volume, "Harbour Lights".

Author description

Born in 1941 in Belfast, Mahon read French at Trinity College, Dublin. His first book NIGHT CROSSING was published by OUP in 1968. He moved to London in the 70s where he worked as a literary journalist, but now lives again in Dublin.
