This book offers a wide-ranging analysis of the entire corpus of Medbh McGuckian’s published work. Its objective is to provide both a readable synthesis of existing criticism, in a fashion which will be generally useful to academics and students, and also to offer an original contribution to the field of contemporary Irish literary studies on the basis of new research. The book investigatesa variety of previously neglected themes, in particular McGuckian’s exploration of ideas of creativity and performativity in her poetry. Over the past two decades McGuckian has been recognized by both her fellow poets and by literary critics as one of the most original, daring and important poetic voices in contemporary Ireland. Since 1982 she has published fifteen volumes of poetry, extraordinary not merely for its sustained quality and linguistic and technical virtuosity, but also for its constant evolution and reinvention. This book provides an original perspective on her work both thematically and methodologically. From a thematic perspective, the process of artistic creation is a key preoccupation of McGuckian’s poetry which recurs in every volume of her oeuvre but has previously escaped critical attention. By adapting and refining theories of singularity and creativity, the book allows for a coherent analysis of this central aspect of McGuckian’s work. Methodologically it differs from previous studies in the scope of its approach. Uniquely, it pursues its investigation across the entire breadth of the poet’s published output and emphasizes the thematic unity of individual volumes in the light of the poet’s constant change and development. Throughout the book, the reading of McGuckian’s work concentrates on poems in their entirety, an approach which has not figured to any notable degree in the existing secondary literature on the poet, not least because of the perceived difficulty of her writing. A critical investigation, however, which respects both the integrity of the individual poems and the internal coherence of her various volumes allows for a far deeper understanding both of the poet’s thematic preoccupations and of the evolution of her distinctive poetic voice.

Silence and Articulacy in the Poetry of Medbh McGuckian is an innovative contribution to the scholarship on Belfast poet, Medbh McGuckian. This book considers the entire oeuvre of this globally respected Irish woman writer, a member of the contemporary avant-garde with now fifteen (U.S. published) volumes and numerous individual publications. The author positions McGuckian’s oeuvre as political and historical poetry and offers a provocative new assessment of its crafted silences. This work argues that it is the muted character of McGuckian’s poems—a consequence of a defamiliarized language, the overwhelming sway of the image, and a profusion of intertextual quoting—that constitutes their agency and force. The silences are read as a response to the precarious positionality of poet and speaker at the site of “disaster” and the limits of articulacy. In line with Rukeyser’s notion of the life of poetry, the life of McGuckian's silences is located, Fadem argues, in the poems’ production, as revealed self-reflexively, and in their prolonged consumption. This oeuvre operates as a formidable counter-discourse by converting poetry's reception into a much protracted task that redistributes the temporal economy of poem and reader and disrupts the given structures of time, place, and the order of things.

The Unfixed Horizon: New Selected Poems traces Medbh McGuckian's remarkable trajectory through fourteen volumes published between 1982 and 2013, amply displaying her bewitching, opulent imagination. A comprehensive introduction by editors Borbála Faragó and Michaela Schrage-Früh offers a valuable overview and rare insight into the work and the myriad influences--both private and public--of this mysterious poet. Their selection perceptively charts the history through which the poet has lived. McGuckian's early poems, the editors point out, view Belfast's sectarian violence through the lens of the female body and domestic imagery, while her political engagement later becomes more direct. McGuckian's poems are "firmly rooted in Northern Irish soil," yet encompass a world of interests erotic and maternal, spiritual and sensuous, private and political. Readers open to her enigmatic syntactical structures, wide-angled metaphors, and metamorphic images multiplying in dream-like fashion will be richly rewarded.

Reading Medbh McGuckian is a highly original study of renowned Ulster poet Medbh McGuckian. Fellow poet Leontia Flynn offers close readings of McGuckian's early and mid-career work and sheds new light on the poet's complexities, while remaining clear, accessible, and insightful. Availing of valuable new research, the book suggests and illustrates that much of McGuckian's poetic language is gathered from an array of other sources. The book begins as a series of observational readings, analyzing the poems and textual materials from which the poetry has been developed, and goes on to suggest how this poetic technique is evident throughout her work. Assuming several critical perspectives, the book adopts an original - and at times unconventional - approach and gives a sense of the challenges McGuckian's poetry presents to readers. It examines the poet's evolving style over the last three decades in which she has published over a dozen poetry collections. It also shows how McGuckian persuades her readers to think differently about women, poetry, and tradition - constructing McGuckian's meanings where possible, but also insisting that the mysteries and pleasures of the poetry remain intact. *** "Whether or not you are interested in McGuckian's poetry, the book is valuable for the way that it teases apart the meaning of concepts like clarity and coherence, meaning and sense. If it is the job of poetry to blur such distinctions, it is the job of criticism to distinguish these elements so that they can be blurred." - Irish Literary Supplement, Vol. 35, No. 1, Fall 2015 [Subject: Poetry, Literary Criticism, Irish Studies, Women's Studies]Ã?Â?Ã?Â?
