From the Publisher:
O Westport in the Light of Asia Minor was first published in a tiny edition in Dublin in 1975. Paul Durcan's first published in a tiny edition in Dublin in 1975. Paul Durcan's first full-fledged collection displays an astonishingly mature visionary power. Shot through with the surrealism and heart-breaking comedy that have since become his hallmark, O Westport in the Light of Asia Minor won him the prestigious Patrick Kavanagh Award (1975).Writing in the first issue of the influential Irish Cyphers, the English poet David Wright remarked:"This is the real thing.One can't say more, or less, than that.Durcan's Poems affect me with the same amalgamations of recognition and insight- as revelations of what one knows without knowing it, concurrent testimonies as it were- that I find in the work of Patrick Kavanagh.It's a long time since I've felt so excited about a new poet."
