Drunken Sailor opens at the mouth of Cork Harbour, then journeys across the county to West Cork before embracing matters of his Northern past. Mortality and the power of myth are among his subjects, and there is an underlying dialogue with Yeats, from the ruined towers at Roche's Point, to the glimpse of Ben Bulben in the ambitious longer poem, 'The Plain of Blood' with which the book culminates. But Montague's vision is both more pagan and more Catholic. In his second volume of lyrics since Collected Poems (1995) John Montague combines the energy and ardour of a young poet with the wisdom and rue of a sage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852353605\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.2 x 5.4 x 0.4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35371239112856,"sku":"82-AEGY-UN56","price":6.76,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/products\/51HWWYRC4NL.jpg?v=1595368687","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/drunken-sailor","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
