| Publisher Description: FROM THE publication of his Collected Poems in 1994 to his recent death at the age of 74, James Liddy maintained a busy publishing schedule that included three collections of poetry and a volume of autobiography, as well as essays, reviews and translations published in the United States and Ireland. These new volumes start from divergent points: Askeaton Sequence setting out as an exploration of Wisconsin and Wexford and Arcady beginning as a re-visitation of Liddy's native Wexford. However, both books are underlined by various migrations across nations, time, and space and are, therefore, truly complementary. A visit to a Wisconsin Askeaton will evoke memories of the poet's family connection to Limerick's Askeaton. |
