Reviews
“It is a book probably best suited to an American audience as a well-researched and extremely readable introduction to Northern Irish poetry that uses connections to America—experiential, imaginative, geographic, and literary—as starting points for its commentary. … Kennedy-Andrews’s book is indeed wide-ranging in scope and demonstrates the author’s obvious scholarly enthusiasm for the Northern Irish poetry addressed.” (Gail McConnell, breac.nd.edu, February, 2017)
“In his fascinating recent study Northern Irish Poetry: The American Connection, Elmer Kennedy-Andrews contends that there are ‘webs of connection’ … that tie together Northern Irish poets with one another and with their American antecedents, whether or not they are aware of these entanglements. … makes a convincing case for the importance of American influence in contemporary Northern Irish poetry. Additionally, it paves the way for future criticism with a similarly flexible and inquisitive attitude.” (Tara Stubbs, Irish Studies Review, May, 2016)
