	Peter McDonald reviews Harbour Lights by Derek Mahon
		Mahon's view of the contemporary world is every bit as grim as Yeats's, and in its way just as apocalyptic, as "planes that consume deserts of gasoline/ darken the sun in another rapacious war"; but his version the sages" laughing gaiety in the face of tragedy (of the first "Lapis Lazuli") is a convincingly-put question:
		Like the "subversive past" from which Mahon's imagination operates, this "discredited ghost" does a good deal of haunting in the book It is, perhaps, the ghost of literary tradition (amongst other things), ill-at-ease in the world into which Derek Mahon has lived.
		Mahon's previous two volumes, The Hudson Letter and The Yellow Book, were at best uneven affairs, and at worst seemed to mark the serious decay of one of contemporary poetry's most extraordinary and valuable talents.

		Derek Mahon has been the recipient of numerous awards for his poetry, plays, and translations, including the Irish Academy of Letters Award and the Irish Times/Aer Lingus Poetry Prize.
		Long considered one of the greatest glories of the French theatre, Mahon's version reminds us once again that he is not only one of the finest poets of the age, but also an inspired translator.
		Mahon's great achievement in this transformation emerges most strikingly in the beauty of his choral odes whose clarity and grace linger hauntingly over the scenes of human folly and divine anger.

	The Poetry of Derek Mahon
		As the first major book-length study of the poetry of Derek Mahon, this volume of fourteen essays represents a long overdue account and assessment of one of the foremost living English-language poets not only in Irish poetry but world-wide.
		It is a poetry of the ‘ironic conscience’, sceptical, sophisticated, urbane; a poetry of transit between centres and margins.
		Some of this criticism is rooted in Mahon’s own critical and aesthetic vocabulary, which is largely reflective of canonical values and the New Critical ideal of the ‘well-made poem’ — an orthodoxy which his recent poetry challenges and enlarges.

		The editor Mahon has made an outstanding selection from his own work, and the book is a good introduction to the important, mischievous work of Michael Hartnett.
		In his native Ireland, connaisseurs regard Mahon's poetry as superior to Seamus Heaney's, and why Mahon's works are so little known is a mystery to me. Maybe it is because he is not interested in the merely picturesque aspects of Ireland, and also because he has broken free of that country at least outwardly.
		Mahon's rendition is memorable: his language spans a range of tones and emotions, from irony and wry humor to the beautifully expressed choruses and the pathos of the final scene, and this conveys the "feel" of the play far better than the usual all-too-dignified "exact" translations.
