Terence Brown, an influential Irish writer, scholar and critic, was instrumental in providing an important literary voice in his homeland throughout the latter half of the 20th century. This
book, edited by Allen, a professor at the University of North Carolina, and Patten, a lecturer at Dublin's Trinity College, offers poems and essays as a tribute to the man. Distinguished
writers such as Roy Foster, Derek Mahon, Seamus Heaney, Declan Kiberd and Edna Longley invoke the spirit of Louis MacNeice and W.B. Yeats, two of Terence Brown's favorite subjects. Brown was
considered a vital force in Ireland's intellectual and cultural community, and each entry brings a different perspective on this remarkable writer. Distributed in the United States by ISBS.
