This book, penned by the renowned poetry critic Neil Corcoran, delves into the intricate ways in which the work of significant modern Irish, British, and American poets engages with or "negotiates" diverse contexts, including historical, social, political, artistic, and aesthetic realms. Part 1 showcases the remarkable artistry of David Jones, Robert Graves, Seamus Heaney, and Bob Dylan as they skillfully navigate poetic methods, both traditional and modernist, while also drawing inspiration from earlier writers to create strikingly original new forms. Derek Mahon's prose is analyzed in the context of these concerns, shedding light on how their work deeply connects with complex and often harrowing histories, such as the First World War and the Northern Irish Troubles. Part 2 delves into the realm of "ekphrastic work," which involves poems that engage with visual art. Elizabeth Bishop, W. S. Graham, John Ashbery, Sylvia Plath, and Ciaran Carson are among the poets who explore comparable poetic and historical legacies while also responding creatively to the works of significant artists, including Parmigianino, Poussin, de Chirico, Klee, and members of the St. Ives School. This book makes a significant contribution to ongoing critical debates surrounding these poets, providing fresh perspectives and illuminating their works within original or newly clarified contexts. Moreover, it offers exemplary close readings of noteworthy poems, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of their artistic achievements.
