Gregory, P: Modern Anglo-Irish Verse -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Modern Anglo-Irish Verse: An Anthology Selected From the Work of Living Irish Poets

This is an anthology of verse by some living Irish poets. It does not include selections from the work of every one writing verse in Ireland to-day, and I have quoted only from three or four writers who have severed connection with their country and are gone to reside abroad. It is not merely a book of poets and poetasters for if the preparation of anything so comprehensive - and for that matter so valueless - had been my aim, I could easily have doubled the number of names herein represented. On the other hand, although this book contains no poem that does not reach a relatively (high standard of excellence, as it con tains dialect work, historical ballads, and a variety of miscellaneous verse, it cannot be described as an anthology of great poems.
