Collected Poems

by Patrick Kavanagh

Overview

Patrick Kavanagh's imagery is drawn from the life of the Irish country poor, which he shared at first hand, and an inner landscape of pain and self-knowledge.

His is a unique voice in modern lyrical poetry—ferociously independent, by turns ironic, colloquial, lyrical.
