Clio's Ground: New and Selected Poems

"...there is that second strand, the fitful, halting strand of Irish modernism, a bare technique, picked up by Beckett and carried through by writers such as... neo-Classicist poet, Fergal Gaynor. James Joyce would have recognised these contemporary writers instantly, knowing that their modernist efforts to escape from the story-teller material of Ireland should lead to new forms..." -Thomas McCarthy, Irish Examiner"Few poets have cast a colder eye on the inevitability of decline, without surrendering to it: 'The sclerotic being dismantled, / a fine automaton springs downtrack.'" -Keith Tuma
