Welcome to Litsy!

Clarke was of that generation of poets who came in the wake of Yeats, and were - to a large extent - overlooked because of that. This #penguinclassic Selected Poems is a good overview of his style, oeuvre, and concerns. I do hope he has a bit of a comeback. I love this book. #irishwriting #poetry #irishpoetry #penguinclassics

The great #Irish novel. The work that changed the trajectory of 20th century writing. Bloom‘s visit to the outhouse brought the long 19th century to a sharp end; we were brought into a new dispensation with this one Book. #jamesjoyce #ulysses #irishwriting
