The Echoing Years: An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry and Translation from Canada and Ireland

by Randall Maggs (Editor)

"The Echoing Years" completes a trilogy of anthologies combining the poetry of Ireland and Newfoundland and Labrador. "The Backyards of Heaven" (2003) and "However Blow the Winds" (2004) have sold out. This new volume expands its coverage to poetry from across Canada, including French-Canadian (partly in translation) and Aboriginal work, published since 1980. It contains 172 poets, (87 Canadian, 85 Irish), and includes translations/versions of Dante, Virgil, and eastern European poets.

""The Echoing Years" is the third of these wonderful collaborative anthologies from Newfoundland-Labrador and Ireland. ...Between them these volumes amount to an endlessly compelling cabinet of poetry." - Bernard ODonoghue, Oxford

This book has a lot of variety, and I've really enjoyed it.
Hopefully, when I'm better at French, I can read the ones I skipped.
