Produktinformationen zu „A Poet in the House: Patrick Kavanagh at Priory Grove (ePub)“
In A Poet in the House: Patrick Kavanagh at Priory Grove, a memoir by Elizabeth O'Toole, we encounter a new Patrick Kavanagh.
Patrick Kavanagh (1904-67) was one of Ireland's foremost poets, best known for 'The Great Hunger' and novel Tarry Flynn. He is also remembered for his cantankerous, sometimes volatile nature, fuelled by alcohol. In 1961, the poet lived with the O'Toole family in Stillorgan for six months at a crucial point in his life, when he was sober, industrious and, as the accompanying photographs will show, much loved by her children.
Although Elizabeth O'Toole is now ninety-six, her decidedly down-to-earth voice is that of a much younger woman. Her vivid recollections deepen and challenge the way we view Patrick Kavanagh. The influence of her book will tilt our perception of this passionate man.
A contextual essay by the editor of the volume, playwright and novelist Brian Lynch, accompanies the memoir.
