 Usual test for vitamin deficiency can mislead doctors
Kinsella has had a longstanding interest in B12 deficiency and its relationship to nitrous oxide, a general anesthetic in common use in dental offices and hospital operating rooms.
Thomas and colleagues earlier this year published the case of a young man who abused nitrous oxide and devastating neurological damage to the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
Thomas and Kinsella urge doctors to more rigorously check for B12 deficiency by measuring both serum B12 and MMA in patients before surgery and to test patients who are over 65 for the problem every two years.

Thomas Kinsella's translation is the first attempt to present a `living version' of the story, complete and unbowdlerized.
Whether by Kinsella's art or the nature of the original language of the text, the "Tain bo Cuailnge" is one of the most accessible of the old epics.
Kinsella is never turgid or sentimental in the nineteenth century sense, which is so true of many of the older reworkings of Irish literature.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Kinsella, Thomas
Thomas Kinsella was born on 4th May 1928 in Inchicore, Dublin, the eldest child of John Kinsella and Agnes Casserly.
Central to his poetry is Kinsella's relationship with Eleanor Walsh of Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, whom he courted while she was in hospital recovering from TB, and married in 1955.
Kinsella's is a complex and dense poetry that, in its later years, eschews lyricism for a narrative development that relies on the poetic sequence and an engagement with sources as diverse as Irish mythology, European enlightenment and contemporary US history.

 New England Review: evolving poetry of Thomas Kinsella, The   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Kinsella's sensibility is supposed to be grim; he has been deemed "the dark star of Irish poetry" and "the conscience of his society." His poetry's "bitterness," "outrage," "alienation," and "conviction of the inevitability of disasters" have been duly noted.
Kinsella's first efforts as a poet came at a time and place-early 1950s Dublin-when there was little encouragement for them.
During those two decades he was "involved in practical theatrical affairs and wrote a series of verse plays," but the protracted silence of a poet so moody and full of spiritual yearning remains a compelling metaphor for the condition of Irish poetry at that time.

 Research Paper Critique on Thomas Kinsella
This writer did not bore his or her audience with a lengthy book report on Thomas Kinsella, but instead described the environment that Kinsella grew up in and stated that this is what influenced his writing.
The part where the writer states that Kinsella's interests were more in writing literature than in his civil service job would be better in the next paragraph, after the opening sentence about the start of his writing being a fluke.
The writer of this paper gives a good description of the beginning subjects and basis for Kinsella's poetry through quotes and then states how these subjects such as childhood and life experiences are tied into the three phases of his poetry.

 Reading the Ground   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Between these books, Kinsella also established himself as a brilliant translator with his version of the Irish epic, The Táin, which was to be followed by other distinguished, widely read translations, serving to relate his work to both the Gaelic and English lines of the broken (as Kinsella regards it) Irish tradition.
Whenever John puts Kinsella's work in context with that of other poets he is illuminating, and many readers would doubtless welcome more of it, for, though the ranking of the poets may not be of much interest, the course that (Irish) poetry has run is immediately relevant to what Kinsella's work amounts to.
John's demonstration of the importance of Kinsella's attempt at a continuous poetic discourse, articulated in reaction against `the notion of a ``complete'' poem' and not through sequences, is one of the most valuable features of his timely study.

In 1968, when Kinsella published Nightwalker and Other Poems, his reputation was at its peak; in 1972, with the appearance of Notes from the Land of the Dead, it suffered a blow from which it has not yet recovered.
I believe, however, that Kinsella's real and significant stylistic shifts were accompanied by drastic social shifts in Ireland which changed both the Irish poetic field and, consequently, what was expected of an Irish poet.
Kinsella's Dublin localism and refusal of transcendence, however, resist appropriation even by the language of postcolonial theory.

Kinsella has spent several decades among Ireland's most difficult, strangest and most critically respected poets.
The Dublin-based poet (no relation to Australia's John Kinsella) gained modest fame with elegant, if conventional, formal poems in the '50s and '60s; during the same years he translated many classic poems in the Irish language.

 The New York Review of Books: NEW OXFORD IRISH
It is clear that I misread one of Thomas Kinsella's sentences in his introduction to The New Oxford Book of Irish Verse, and took him as saying precisely the opposite of what he now clarifies.
The main point of my remarks about Kinsella's decision to print no translations (with one exception) but his own was that it suppressed the only provenance the Irish poems had, during a crucially formative period, roughly 1850 to 1930.
My point about Kinsella's own translations is that even if they were superb in every other respect, they convert a multitude of styles into the common style of his own poems.

The importance of John Montague and Thomas Kinsella as longstanding contemporary poets cannot be oversold.
It is an absorbing book on Irish poetry in general, ably edited and brilliantly introduced by the editor who in the opening part conducts a survey of Montague's publications with detailed accounts of their critical receptions.
By comparison, Kinsella is a private poet whose innerness is comparable to Rilke's, Kavanagh's, Saba's and Spicer's (just to mention the poets whose voices call to me).
