Queering the Green: Post-2000 Queer Irish Poetry

Queering the Green: Post-2000 Queer Irish Poetry

Liz Quirke
4.1/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
... every poem is a queering of language; every poetry critic is a critic of the queer; every reader of poetry is engaged in a queer act; every performance of poetry is a queer iteration.

But only we are queer.

—Paul Maddern, from the introduction

Queering the Green brings together thirty-one poets who collectively demonstrate the vibrant multiplicity of queer experience in twenty-first century Ireland. Edited by Paul Maddern, this landmark anthology creates a space for the celebration of queer poets from or living on the island of Ireland.

Featuring well-established poets alongside those at the beginning of their writing lives, this book is both a retrospective of the last two decades and a snapshot of the ongoing redefinition of Irish poetry. Queering the Green addresses exclusions of the past, speaks to the diversity of the present, and points towards the radical possibilities of the future.

Broad in scope and showcasing the diversity of post-2000 Irish poetry, these varied and distinctive poems are essential reading for anyone interested in Irish writing today.
