This is a reissued collection of introductory essays on Irish poetry from 1900 to the present by some of the best-known names in contemporary Irish poetry (Eavan Boland, Ciaran Carson, Seamus Heaney, Thomas Kinsella, Michael Longley, John Montague, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Bernard O’Donoghue and Cathal Ó Searcaigh). First published in 1999 as Watching the River Flow, editor Pat Boran has further updated this survey with the addition of essays by Pat Boran, Theo Dorgan, Eamon Grennan and David Wheatley, as well as an informed outsider's view of the subject by distinguished American poet, now resident in Ireland, Richard Tillinghast.
