Familiar Strangers

This substantial book represents BRENDAN KENNELLY's own selection from over twenty poetry books written over five decades. He has been a poet who has revisited his work, re-scoring familiar and estranged pieces into new gatherings that reflect his preoccupations more powerfully, bringing together poems from different times--and adding many new, previously lost or unpublished ones--so that they speak in chorus like the generations of people they celebrate.
