In Kerry Slides Paul Muldoon brings his gifts to bear on the Dingle peninsula of County Kerry, an area in which he has lived and to which he returns. His characteristically original observations and thrilling word plays, rooted here deep in the elemental beauty of the Irish landscape and in its history, literature and mythology, are thrown into high relief by Bill Doyle's pictorial record of Dingle, its surrounding townlands, and the Blasket Islands.
