'For native work in verse, fiction or criticism... we mean to maintain a place, insisting on that which we have not found insisted upon before, the essential contact between words and the locality that breeds them, in this case America' (William Carlos Williams);'Rich in content, Maintaining a Place is a wonderful exploration for students of English or just fans of American literature. Well crafted, the volume brings the reader on a journey that responds to current developments in literary studies.' UCD Today, Spring 2015 Read more...
