He founded the poetry broadsheet and journal \"Innti\", and was a central figure in a new movement in Gaelic poetry in the 1970’s. He became a friend of Seán Ó Ríordáin, to who’s metaphysical wit he gave a sharp vernacular edge. Davitt was also influenced by the linguistic virtuosity of the American e.e. cummings, the Beat poets and American popular culture. His poems have a wide-awake conscience that holds a mirror to contemporary Irish society, while his poems about and for people he admires capture their force and vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first time Davitt's poems have appeared together in a single volume, and the translations were carefully worked by a number of leading Irish poets including Brendan Kennelly, Paul Muldoon, and John Montague.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudents of Irish poetry and poetry lovers alike will enjoy this selection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cork University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060472561904,"sku":"9781859182475","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781859182475_p0.jpg?v=1763599733","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781859182475","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
