WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY DR DIETER FUCHS AND JOSEPH O'CONNOR Against the backdrop of nineteenth century Dublin, a boy becomes a man: his mind testing its powers, obsessions taking hold and loosening again, the bonds of family, tradition, nation and religion transforming from supports into shackles; until the young man devotes himself to the celebration of beauty, and reaches for independence and the life of an artist.

Featuring a diverse range of poetry, this collection showcases the work of British poet laureate Andrew Motion, marking his debut for American audiences. Selected by Motion, the poems include elegies, sonnets, and pieces reflecting on social and political themes, as well as candid explorations of childhood, post-war England, and nature. Spanning three decades, the anthology highlights Motion's unique voice and rich contributions to contemporary poetry.
