Between the Acts, and Other Poems
This collection of poems by one of Ireland's best-known actors contains all his most significant poems, many of which are inspired by the places his long acting career has taken him to in Ireland, England and elsewhere. Included are a selection of his Irish-language poems (with his own translations). Published to mark Cusack's 80th birthday. `The quiet master of the understated' - Ireland of the Welcomes `Cusack takes a lot of chances with his writing but it's all carried off, quite casually, with an unusual voice that evokes humour, love, death, and would have you believe, almost, in the speaker's naivety but for a patient intellect, a casual language that just seems to drift through the reefs and shallows of a leashed emotion.' - Derrick Gaskin in ORE 0-86140-332-0 Paperback £5.99 26/01/2005 |
