The Great Hunger. A Poem. Shannon: Irish University Press, 1971. Rebound in quarter leather, cloth boards. Title lettered along spine. A fine bright copy.

Facsimile Edition of the original Cuala Press edition published in 1942.

Kavanagh’s The Great Hunger, is a major highlight from the Cuala Press canon of published literature. The work is regarded as the poet’s greatest creative work. It is fashioned from Kavanagh’s own personal observations of how life on the land could restrict human development.

A nice gift edition.
