Irish poetry is among the most vibrant language cultures in the world. A decade on from the landmark anthology Watching the River Flow : A Century in Irish Poetry (Poetry Ireland, 1999), Flowing, Still reissues the ten introductory essays from that book-by some of the best-known figures in contemporary Irish poetry, among them Seamus Heaney, John Montague, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Eavan Boland and Ciaran Carson-adding a number of extended essays which bring the book up to the present day. This new volume aims to provide students and general readers alike with an affordable single-volume introduction to Irish poetry since 1900-in the words of some of its finest living practitioners.
