First American edition. “ An unmistakably Irish combination of brilliant humor, trenchant thought, and moving sentiment marks this latest collection of Gogarty’s poetry. Probably his finest work to date is the long poem addressed to W.B. Yeats, which is published here for the first time in book form. It departs from the solemn elegiac tradition of English poetry; it is a sparkling and sincere tribute to the master.” NCBEL, IV, 283.
