Book by Paul Durcan

From the Inside Flap:
Durcan brings his tender lyricism and incisive wit to bear on the themes of love and loss, life and death. The first section describes a near-death experience in Australia, which provides a starting point for reassessing his past relationships and loves. The second returns to Ireland, its people and places, the celebrated and the unknown. The third section is a meditation on his daughter's marriage, placing within an historical and sacramental context a very personal event. And finally, in some of his most daring and original writing, Durcan describes his own twentieth-century romance, replete with ecstasies and inevitable agonies, beauty and hope, but also brutality and self-abasement. Over the last 30 years, Paul Durcan has become one of the most highly regarded and popular poets in contemporary Ireland, celebrated both in his home country and internationally. Cries of an Irish Caveman is his most entertaining and original collection yet.
About the Author:
Paul Durcan's first book of poems, Endsville (with Brian Lynch) was published in 1967 and has been followed by fifteen others, including Daddy, Daddy (Winner of the Whitbread Award for Poetry, 1990) and A Snail in My Prime: New and Selected Poems (1993). His most recent is the long poem, Christmas Day (1996). He is a member of Aosdana and lives in Dublin.
