3.0 out of 5 stars Vivid description, vivid emotion, June 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Collected Poems (Paperback)

For those who love poetry, the art of words, and deep meaning, this book offers hours of pleasure. Through vivid physical and emotional imagery, John Montague poignantly conveys life. His verses, which span a writing career of almost forty years, include themes such as the realities of a divided Ireland, love, childhood, and living in other parts of the world. For those without a basic knowledge of the politics, history, and vocabulary of Northern Ireland it will be difficult to understand some of the poems, but it is a moving reading experience nonetheless. Your imagination will be captured by this poet's incredible reality.
