Description: Northern Irish poets have been notably reticent when addressing political issues in their work. This title traces that tendency through the works of Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, and Medbh McGuckian. It focuses on the oblique, subtle strategies employed by the poets to critique contemporary political issues.
