A Chastened Communion cover

A Chastened Communion traces a new path through the well-traversed field of modern Irish poetry by revealing how critical engagement with Catholicism shapes the trajectory of the poetic careers of Austin Clarke, Patrick Kavanagh, John Montague, Seamus Heaney, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Paul Durcan, and Paula Meehan.

The prose is refreshingly clear and often well-turned. . . . This book will be useful for scholars of Irish poetry as well as for scholars of Irish Catholicism.—Daniel Tobin, author of Awake in America
