THE POETICS OF MIGRATION IN CONTEMPORARY IRISH POETRY Ailbhe McDaid
New Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature Series Editor Claire A. Culleton Department of English Kent State University Kent, OH, USA
New Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature promotes fresh scholarship that explores models of Irish and Irish American identity and examines issues that address and shape the contours of Irishness and works that investigate the fluid, shifting, and sometimes m ultivalent discipline of Irish Studies. Politics, the academy, gender, and Irish and Irish American culture, among other things, have not only inspired but affected recent scholarship centered on Irish and Irish American literature. The series’s focus on Irish and Irish American literature and culture contributes to our twenty-first century understanding of Ireland, America, Irish Americans, and the creative, intellectual, and theoretical spaces between.
