Selected Poems
Selected Poems | Patrick Kavanagh
3 posts | 1 to read
Published in order of first publication as far as possible, this selection ranges from initial offerings such as 'Tinker's Wife' and 'Inniskeen Road: July Evening' to his tragic masterpiece 'The Great Hunger' (1942) and his celebratory later verse, 'To Hell with Common Sense' and 'Come Dance with Kitty Stobling', which show his increasing comic verve and detachment. The first comprehensive selection of Kavanagh's poetry to be published, this volume offers a timely reassessment of a poet unfairly neglected outside Ireland.

Inniskeen Road : July Evening

The bicycles go by in twos and threes -
There is a dance in Billy Brennan‘s barn tonight,
And there‘s the half -talk code of mysteries
And the wink- and -elbow language of delight.
Half-past eight and there is not a spot
Upon a mile of road, no shadow thrown
That might turn out a man or woman, not a footfall tapping secrecies of stone.

I have what every poet hates in spite 👇🏻👇🏻

Cathythoughts 👇🏻👇🏻Of all the solemn talk of contemplation. Oh, Alexander Selkirk knew the plight Of being king & government & nation. A road, a mile of kingdom, I am king Of banks and stones and every blooming thing. “ 6y
