His poetry is widely published in the original Irish and in translation. This, however, is the first collection of critical essays dealing with his work. Gathered here are eight essays by Irish, American and Japanese writers; an interview with the poet himself; original poems; and previously unpublished photographs and translations. The collection's international array of both contributors and perspectives reflects the breadth and scope of \u003cb\u003eÓ\u003c\/b\u003e Searcaigh's work, and also provides an indication of the high esteem in which his work is held. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRemarkably diverse issues and themes are explored in \u003cb\u003eÓ\u003c\/b\u003e Searcaigh's poetry.

For those unfamiliar with the poet's work, this volume provides a useful introduction to his poetry; and for those already familiar with his writing, each essay offers new readings of, and fresh returns to, favourite \u003cb\u003eÓ\u003c\/b\u003e Searcaigh poems, some of which are key texts in the contemporary Irish literature scene.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 9.46 x 6.76 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47572649214173,"sku":"9781903631300","price":40.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/HsOvKNY2H39781903631300_8f207f19-1960-4eff-82c4-7241a53d7b0e.webp?v=1773392599","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/on-the-side-of-light-the-poetry-of-cathal-o-searcaigh-paperback-2","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
