From centre city

the long version

From Centre City - Thomas Kinsella's first book since 1988 - continues with the poems of family and social history of Blood and Family, collecting together five recent publications from his own Peppercanister Press. There are two longer poems in this body of personal poetry from the poet's home places, the city of Dublin, and his new home in County Wicklow. The book opens with 'One Fond Embrace', a private accounting, and ends with 'Open Court', set in one of the crowded literary scenes from the city's recent past.
