Macdara Woods is among the best known names in contemporary Irish poetry, with his work translated into more than a dozen languages. To mark his 70th year, Dedalus issues Collected Poems, a generous overview of his many collections from his 1970 debut to The Cotard Dimension (2011), alongside a number of new and previously uncollected poems. Politically engaged, powerfully lyrical and formally adventurous, Macdara Woods' poems expand the range of contemporary Irish poetry and make him, in the words of Thomas Lynch, "among the most trustworthy, his voice among the most engaging, his contribution among the permanent".
