by Hugh Maxton
Poems 2000-2005 is a transitional collection written while the
author - also known to be W.J. McCormack, literary historian -
was in the process of moving back from London to settle in rural
Ireland.It is also a vigorous contribution to the age-old
dialogue between Sacred and Profane themes, questioning beliefs and
pleasures, guilts and landscapes, poetic methods and prosaic
realities.
Included are some of the most disturbing and accomplished
meditations on communal violence in Ulster, the province where Hugh
Maxton now lives. He is currently completing a new volume of poems
and working - at age 57 - on a first novel.
