Inhaltsangabe

On The Block is narrative, lyrical poetry rising in an arc of tracers from life in New York and Dublin, as well as travels in the South Seas. MeNulty's insights into the details of life bring us closer to a real understanding of the immigrant mind. The dual American-Irish vision imprints itself indelibly, and becomes the untold story within each poem. On The Block is a worthy successor to McNulty s first collection Rough Landings. It has the unity of a journey seen in strong detail that crosses between bright and dark like slats across the eyes.
Ted McNulty, an Irish American poet living in Dublin, was raised in New York City by parents from counties Cavan and Clare. A onetime news reporter and university lecturer, he began writing poetry in his 50s and won the Hennessy/Sunday Tribune prize as New Irish Writer in 1991. His previous collection. Rough Landings, is also published by Salmon Poetry.
With the poet, Sheila O Hagan, he has conducted workshops for prisoners in Wormwood Scrubs Prison, London, and for inner city youth in Dublin and in London.
