59.CUALA PRESS. KINSELLA, Thomas. Notes from the Land of the Dead. Dublin. The Cuala Press. 1972.
£298
8vo., original holland-backed paper-covered boards with printed paper spine label. A near fine copy.
First edition, one of 500 copies, this copy specially signed by Kinsella. This copy belonged to Kinsella’s fellow Irish poet and friend John Montague and is inscribed by Montague on the title-page “This is not John Montague but his friend”. With a few pencil markings, presumably by Montague, in the text.
A pleasing association copy. John Montague is one of the major Irish poets of the 20th Century. Montague’s American instincts provide, along with Thomas Kinsella, an important counterweight to the more British influences of other major poets from Northern Ireland such as Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley and Derek Mahon.
