The art of Brian Coffey

Author:	Dónal Moriarty
Publisher:	Dublin : University College Dublin Press, 2000.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Although his work is still undervalued, Brian Coffey (1905-95) is an important figure in Irish poetry. Proceeding from an independently established yet coherent aesthetic, he was one of a small number of poets who rejected the high style of Yeats. The non-mimetic mode of his poetry, which relies as much upon sound as it does upon sense for its principal effects, poses particular problems for Irish readers. The perspective that Coffey adopts on Irish culture and history is certainly unique, and the values that inform his point of view are moral rather than political. Because he did not write in a recognisably Irish mode and refused to engage in literary politics, Coffey failed to find a large readership in his native country. Nevertheless, a growing band of readers in Ireland, Britain and America now regard him as one of the finest poets that this country has produced since Yeats." "In the introduction to Coffey's work, Donal Moriarty examines the way the poems release their meaning by concentrating on their sounds and rhythms. This book discussed the early poems, the late long poems Advent and Death of Hektor, and Coffey's remarkable translations from the French of poems by Gerard de Nerval, Rimbaud and Mallarme."--Jacket.  Read more...
