| Event Name: | Poetry Library Book Club - Derek Mahon |
| Description: | This November Derek Mahon celebrates his 70th birthday and our Poetry Library Book Club marks the occasion by looking at his work. Mahon is one of Northern Ireland's most significant contemporary poets, though his time away from his homeland has resulted in a stance much more international and cosmopolitan than his peers. We refer to the text of his New Collected Poems (Gallery Press, 2011) and discuss work from his much-admired poem 'A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford' through to poems from his latest collection An Autumn Wind, described in The Guardian as a 'triumphant late flowering'.
