For half a century of ever-broadening vision, award-winning poet Harry Clifton has addressed what the Irish Times calls 'his large concerns and his angular relationship to Ireland, one that produces extraordinary verbal and emotional effects'. His latest book is a quest, through origin and migration, South America to the North of Ireland, Khao I Dang refugee camp to Glasnevin graveyard, for a lost maternal ground. Harry Clifton has published ten other books of poetry, most recently The Winter Sleep of Captain Lemass (2012), The Holding Centre: Selected Poems 1974-2004 (2014), Portobello Sonnets (2017) and Herod's Dispensations (2019).
