Examines the way recent Irish poems interrogate the status of a place or being or phenomenon considered ‘magic’.
Slightly Magical Irish Poetry and the Long 1990s is a major intervention in the field of Irish literary studies, disrupting conventional divisions and interpretive categories, mixing established poets and new ones, and including poems in English and Irish. McDiarmid argues convincingly for the importance of the ontologically ambiguous or ‘slightly magical’ mode in recent Irish poetry. She brings her wealth of knowledge in the field of Irish literary and cultural criticism to bear on subjects as whimsical as cats, railroad reveries and hair, and as serious as political critiques of both Irelands during the upheavals of the 1990s. Drawing on the author’s conversations with the poets themselves, the book is written in a style that is witty and learned, sophisticated but always accessible.
