He founded the poetry broadsheet and journal \"Innti\", and was a central figure in a new movement in Gaelic poetry in the 1970's. He became a friend of Sean O Riordain, to who's metaphysical wit he gave a sharp vernacular edge. Davitt was also influenced by the linguistic virtuosity of the American e.e. cummings, the Beat poets and American popular culture. His poems have a wide-awake conscience that holds a mirror to contemporary Irish society, while his poems about and for people he admires capture their force and vitality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first time Davitt's poems have appeared together in a single volume, and the translations were carefully worked by a number of leading Irish poets including Brendan Kennelly, Paul Muldoon, and John Montague.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStudents of Irish poetry and poetry lovers alike will enjoy this selection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.2 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47646908481757,"sku":"9781859182482","price":31.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/4taeUnvKji9781859182482.webp?v=1773871354","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-oomph-of-quicksilver-rogha-danta-selected-poems-1970-1998-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
