Knowing One’s Place in Contemporary Irish and Polish Poetry: Zagajewski, Mahon, Heaney, Hartwig. Continuum, 2012.
This book compares contemporary poetry from Ireland and Poland, two post-colonies within Europe, with a particular focus on the theme of spatio-cultural belonging. It brings together Northern Irish and Polish poets who rebel against strict, conventional, and politically binding forms of identity, who are haunted by a sense of not belonging in their own homes, and who revisit (and sometimes criticize) their own postures in their work.
