A Widening Circle Notes Bibliography Index Review "It is a book probably best suited to an American audience as a well-researched and extremely readable introduction to Northern Irish poetry that uses connections to America—experiential, imaginative, geographic, and literary—as starting points for its commentary. … Kennedy-Andrewss book is indeed wide-ranging in scope and demonstrates the authors obvious scholarly enthusiasm for the Northern Irish poetry addressed." (Gail McConnell, breac.nd.edu, February, 2017)"In his fascinating recent study Northern Irish Poetry: The American Connection, Elmer Kennedy-Andrews contends that there are webs of connection … that tie together Northern Irish poets with one another and with their American antecedents, whether or not they are aware of these entanglements. … makes a convincing case for the importance of American influence in contemporary Northern Irish poetry.
