Review
"An excellent anthology and critical, bibliographical and biographical directory. Salmon, who have contributed enormously to making poetry a popular and regular shopping commodity, have excelled themselves. For every shelf." -- Books Ireland, January 2000
"An excellent anthology. Salmon, who have contributed enormously to making poetry a popular and regular shopping commodity, have excelled themselves." -- Books Ireland, January 2000
"An invaluable work of reference for students of literature and lovers of poetry. This is a book to treasure." -- Alexis Guilbride, Gay Community News, February 2000
"This must-have for thorough poetry collections ... [is] a candy sampler of a book for poetry lovers." -- Patricia Monaghan, "Booklist", June 1st/15th, 2000
"Unlike most poetry anthologies which claim to set standards by their process of selection, The White Page is a perfect exercise in inclusiveness. Poets born in Ireland, North and South, poets of Irish ancestry and non-nationals who have lived and worked at their art in Ireland for long periods of time are all represented. Some of the names are familiar while others are known only to a small readership. The inclusion of their work lowers no standards; on the contrary, it is a particular joy to discover within these pages samples of the poetry of the lesser known but the no less gifted. Joan McBreen, in compiling this collection, has provided an invaluable work of reference for students of literature and lovers of poetry. This is a book to treasure." -- Alexis Guilbride, Gay Community News, February 2000
