Troubled Thoughts, Majestic Dreams presents a welcome selection of Dennis O'Driscoll's reviews and essays on contemporary poetry in English and in translation; it contains also a number of personal re?ections, including a colourful evocation of a Tipperary childhood. The state of Irish poetry, the 'insider dealings' of the poetry world, the enduring in?uence of East European poetry — the subjects surveyed in this lively and discriminating book are eclectic and diverse. As the author writes in the introduction, Troubled Thoughts, Majestic Dreams offers 'an option on the casual dip as well as the methodical trawl'. Readers in search of a map of the maze of contemporary poetry will discover in Dennis O'Driscoll a generous guide, while seasoned readers of the poetry of John Berryman, Seamus Heaney, Wislawa Szymborska — and many other poets from Ireland and abroad — will ?nd their pleasure enhanced by the insights which his criticism abundantly provides.
