The multi-volume anthology of current Irish poetry continues with selections of poems in English or with English translation by five very different poets, all bearing witness to different strengths of the Irish tradition and forming a broad church of divergent styles and interests, says Wheatley. He introduces the poets with the essays Trevor Joyce and the Irish Experimental Tradition, Aiden Mathews and the Irish Religious Poem, Peter McDonald and the Northern-Irish Poem, Ailbhe Darcy and the Post-National Poem, and Ailbhe n̕ Ghearbhuigh and the Bunt︢s Cainte.
