What better time to publish this first, book-length critical appraisal of Ciaran Carson’s oveuvre than in his 60th birthday year.
The opening correspondence between the editor and Carson set his work into the historical backdrop of a whole life spent in Belfast. The 13 contributors give engrossing insights into Carson’s work; particularly a writer whose output in poetry and prose has enjoyed ‘quite a remarkable resurgence of energy and productivity’ in this last decade. Ciaran Carson: Critical Essays will more than satisfy both the student researching Carson’s work, and the writer interested in pursuing techniques behind his lyrical pyrotechnics.
