Reviews
'I cannot imagine a literary editor today taking as much care with the submissions of the work of young writers as John Jordan did when he was editing Poetry Ireland, or offering as much personal support to new writers as he did.' - Paul Durcan 'John Jordan was one of Ireland's leading literary critics. A distinguished poet and editor in his own right, a guiding light behind the establishment of Poetry Ireland, his essays, lectures and radio broadcasts are important statements of an Irish literary self-consciousness that emerged in the post-World War II period. I cannot think of anyone more keenly suited to the task of selecting the best of John Jordan's literary writing and presenting it to a new audience than Hugh McFadden.' - Gerald Dawe
