Carson arrived at Queen's University Belfast in 1967, not long after Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley and Derek Mahon; Heaney taught him practical criticism and Paul Muldoon (who remembers him as "terrifically engaged by everything and anything - stamp-collecting, hurley, cooking") and Medbh McGuckian were in the year below. "Something extraordinary did happen to Northern Irish writing in the 1960s," says Patricia Craig, who edited the Oxford Book of Ireland and The Belfast Anthology, "and Ciaran is certainly part of an efflorescence which coincided with the start of the Troubles, though it was really nothing to do with them." It was more about the Catholic influx at Queen's, where it encountered a distinctly liberal Protestant element, and the civil rights movement. "The poetry was part of a sudden understanding of cultural as well as political possibility. Ciaran was the right age to experience that, before the whole thing fell apart and you got the long, long dreadful period of the Troubles." | SELLERS INFORMATION | All books will be securely packaged and shipped with care.
