	poetrymagazines.org.uk - Austin Clarke and Padraic Fallon
		This necessity for the young Clarke to keep his distance from Yeats must be borne in mind when we see him in the 1920s choosing to exploit just those centuries of Irish history which Yeats had least cultivated — the centuries of Celtic Romanesque, after the heroic age and before the Elizabethan plantations.
		Clarke’s anger at the attitudes of the Irish Church, particularly at the inhumanity (as he sees it) of the Church’s attitude to sex, has grown ever harsher and more explicit, not always to the benefit of his art.
		Clarke’s poetry seems to make no new myths, and to celebrate no old ones; more often it exerts itself sardonically to puncture and explode myths, in the sense of dangerous fictions with which the Irishman deludes himself about his national identity and his supposedly peculiar virtues.

		This culminated in the work of the poets of the Celtic Revival at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.

		Among the other poets published by the New Writers Press were Geoffrey Squires (born 1942), whose early work was influenced by Charles Olson, and Augustus Young (born 1943), who admired Pound and who has translated older Irish poetry, as well as work from Latin America and poems by Bertolt Brecht.

	Clarke, Austin Criticism and Essays
		Clarke was an Irish poet, verse playwright, novelist, and critic.
		Thomas Kinsella has written that the principal characteristic of Clarke's work is "the mixed influence of Yeats, a pre-occupation with the Catholic Church in Ireland, and a humanitarian rage." Clarke was regarded by some as Ireland's greatest poet after Yeats.
		Though Clarke began his career under the influence of the Celtic renaissance, he always combined romanticism with harsh wit and realism.

	Amazon.ca: The Polished Hoe: Austin Clarke: Books
		Clarke plunks his muses down on the isle of Bimshire--Barbados in cloak--in the "Wessindies." It's an unsettling postcolonial landscape, soiled by the "sickening power of poverty"--among other routine brutalities, woman and mere girls can be and are dragged off and forcibly taken atop heaps of agricultural refuse.
		Clarke, a poet, novelist, memoirist, and teacher, raised in Barbados and a longtime resident of Toronto, has explored the unbreakable, unbearable, connection between here and there, present and past-- the universal immigrant's tale--in complex and engaging ways before, notably in his 1997 novel, The Origin of Waves.
		Austin Clarke was the underdog against such big hitters as Wayne Johnston and Carol Shields but I found The Polished Hoe to be a long rambling tale with an unsatisfying climax.

		Illinois' new poet laureate is Kevin Stein, a professor at Peoria's Bradley University who views words as musical instruments and keeps a dried toad near his writing desk to remind himself of his own mortality.
		While his resume is crowded with poetry accolades, he finds comfort in the mundane: He has fruit trees around his house, coaches his young son's basketball team and confines his writing to a cluttered office in the garage, where he came across the dead toad.
		But the decision ultimately hinged on two factors: whether the poet was readable and whether he was eager to seek readers among those indifferent to poetry's allure.

		The Doctor's House, poet James Liddy's autobiography, stands apart from other books in the genre for a number of reasons, not least of which is the episodic nature of the thing.
		Straight from the mouth of the poet we see Liddy's sense of fun, developent, and intellect spill onto the page through small vignettes and quick anecdotes told with an artistic diction drowned with people and places, pubs and writers, reflections and recordings.
		The Doctor's House is a poetic autobiography, (somewhat unconventional) but not unlike Austin Clarke's or George Moore's autobiographical writers of upbringing, formation, and humanizing descrption.
