Mistaken Identities - Poetry and Northern Ireland

Zusatztext interesting! wide-ranging and tetchy study ... Certainly this book! though it fans an important debate about the politics of 'identity'! finds its major strengths in the little decentred details of style and cultural nuance which its author! an always astute and at his best a super-sensitive reader of poetry! succeeds in teasing out.
