This book looks at a cohort of poets who studied at University College Cork during the 1970s and early 1980s. Based on extensive interviews and archival work, the book examines the notion that the poets form a generation in sociological terms. It proposes an analysis of the work of the poets, studying the thematics and preoccupations that shape their oeuvre. Among the poets that figure in the book are Greg Delanty, Theo Dorgan, Sean Dunne, Gerry Murphy, Thomas McCarthy, Gregory O'Donoghue, and Maurice Riordan. The volume is prefaced by Eilean Ni Chuilleanain.
