Description
10 Classic Irish Poets
The book 10 Classic Irish Poets, published by Ediciones del Lirio,
Mexico 2023, includes a selection of ten Irish poets (from both the
Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland), considered classics of the
20th century. The poets selected by Argentine translator and compiler
Jorge Fondebrider include the legendary Patrick Kavangah (1904-
1967), who is considered one of the founders of contemporary Irish
poetry, and Seamus Heaney (1939-2013), the fourth Irish Nobel
Laureate in Literature in 1995.
In Jorge Fondebrider's present compilation "the most influential voices
of twentieth-century Irish poetry that, in their own right, can be called
classics have been privileged. Their names are decidedly unavoidable.
The idea is that they serve as a spur and stimulus for Spanish-
language readers to have the curiosity to explore the poetry of Ireland
and, from these poets, to discover other equally valuable poets," the
translator emphasized.
In addition to the voices of the renowned Patrick Kavangah and
Seamus Heaney, readers of this book will also enjoy poetic sensibilities
as diverse and profound as those of Louis MacNeice (1907-1963),
Thomas Kinsella (1928 2021), John Montague (1929-2016) Michael
Harnett (1941-1999) Derek Mahon (1941-2020), Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin
(1942), Eavan Boland (1944-2020), and Ciaran Carson (1948-2019).
Sinopsis
10 Poetas Clásicos Irlandeses
El libro 10 Poetas Clásicos Irlandeses, publicado por Ediciones del
Lirio, México 2023, incluye una selección de diez poetas irlandeses
(tanto de la República de Irlanda como de Irlanda del Norte),
considerados clásicos del siglo XX. Entre los poetas seleccionados
por el traductor y compilador argentino Jorge Fondebrider, se incluyen
a los legendarios Patrick Kavangah (1904-1967), a quien se considera
como uno de los fundadores de la poesía irlandesa contemporánea, y
Seamus Heaney (1939-2013), el cuarto Premio Nobel de Literatura
irlandés en 1995.
En la presente compilación de Jorge Fondebrider “se han privilegiado
las voces más influyentes de la poesía irlandesa del siglo XX que, por
derecho propio, pueden llamarse clásicas. Sus nombres son
decididamente insoslayables. La idea es que sirvan de acicate y
estímulo para que los lectores de lengua castellana 1 tengan la
curiosidad de transitar la poesía de Irlanda y, a partir de estos poetas,
descubrir otros igualmente valiosos”, ha enfatizado el traductor.
A las voces de los renombrados Patrick Kavangah y Seamus Heaney,
los lectores de este libro también disfrutarán de sensibilidades
poéticas tan diversas y profundas como las de Louis MacNeice (1907-
1963), Thomas Kinsella (1928 2021), John Montague (1929-2016)
Michael Harnett (1941-1999) Derek Mahon (1941-2020), Eiléan Ní
