Modern Irish poetry beyond Yeats and Heaney

Interpreting modern Irish poetry within a network of national and cultural identities and in the context of economic and demographic changes of the past fifty years, this volume looks at Irish poetry anew and offers instructors guidance on refashioning the standard Yeats-to-Heaney survey course for the contemporary classroom.

Essays address topics such as poetry and trauma, animal poetics, queer poetry, and Black Irish writers and approach teaching Irish poetry in different places, from Mexico to Belfast; to Irish-language learners; with creative writing pedagogy; and alongside classical and medieval poetry. The range of topics and approaches represented here will inspire teachers to explore new poets and poems and to reconsider familiar ones.
