About the author

Thomas Kinsella was born on May 4, 1928 in Inchicore, Dublin, and graduated from University College Dublin. He subsequently took a position in the Civil Service. Considered to be the most experimental of the contemporary Irish poets, Kinsella is credited with bringing the techniques of international modernism to Irish verse. He published his first collection, The Starlight Eye (1952), with Dolmen Press, helping to set the type himself. He has also translated extensively from Irish, most notably the Old Irish epic An Tin B Cuailgne, published as An Tin (1969) and An Duanaire--Poems of the Dispossessed (1981). In 1972, he founded the Peppercanister Press to publish Butcher's Dozen, a pamphlet poem written in response to the British government's findings on Northern Ireland's Bloody Sunday events. Thomas Kinsella's many volumes of poetry include Poems (1956), Another September (1958), Downstream (1962), Butcher's Dozen (1972), Fifteen Dead (1979), The Good Fight (1973), Nightwalker and Other Poems (1968), Notes from the Dead and Other Poems (1973), One and Other Poems (1979), Peppercanister Poems 1972-1978 (1979), St Catherine's Clock (1987), Poems From City Centre (1990), and Madonna and Other Poems (1991). In 1986 he edited The New Oxford Book of Irish Verse. Wake Forest published his Collected Poems in 2006, and a Selected Poems in September 2010. His awards include two Guggenheim Fellowships and the Denis Devlin Memorial Award (1966, 1969, 1992). He taught in the US for many years and initiated and administered the Irish Tradition study program in Dublin until 1992. He long lived in County Wicklow, Ireland, but currently lives in Philadelphia.
