Remembering John Montague on the first anniversary of his death and recalling what Seamus Heaney said on 14 May 1998 on the occasion of John’s appointment as inaugural Ireland Professor of Poetry:

‘In the course of the past few months, therefore, it has been a moving and confirming experience for me to re-read John’s era-defining collections and to re-encounter them in the magnificent Collected Poems — so admirably produced by The Gallery Press. Here is an oeuvre that inheres in and extends the tradition of Irish poetry — a tradition that began with the magical invocations of the ur-poet Amergin and was reconstituted for our time by the transformative vision of W B Yeats. ‘

John Montague’s books are available on www.gallerypress.com
