Jack
Underwood's
selection
from
Maurice
Riordan's
work
over
the
last
forty
years
allows
us
to
rediscover
a
poet
whose
musicality,
wit
and
emotional
acuity
rank
him
as
a
leading
poet
of
his
and
any
generation.Responding
to
the
imaginative
range
of
Riordan's
preoccupations,
Underwood
creates
a
dynamic
arrangement
for
poems
rooted
in
particularities
of
time
and
place,
yet
enduring
in
their
audacious
inventions
and
pungent
ironies.
They
are
compelling
in
their
immediacy,
whether
they
evoke
a
childhood
in
rural
Co.
Cork,
describe
a
remote
community
that
has
taken
to
the
treetops
to
sing,
or
itemise
the
novelties
and
effronteries
of
aging.
Riordan's
work
appears
here
as
it
demands
to
be
read:
at
once
contemporary
and
timeless,
vibrant
with
the
anxieties
and
pleasures
of
being
alive
in
the
here
and now.
