EoinLenihan: I grew up in the west of Ireland so Patrick Kavanagh was destined to be my favourite poet. Nobody captures the misery, lack of enlightenment & brute reality of Irish country life like he does. I like to read Kavanagh on Saint Patrick's Day.

DanMulhall: Or write with unpoisoned pen
His name in these lovely verses,
Or mention the dark fields where
The first gay flight of my lyric
Got caught in a peasant’s prayer.
…
Wherever I turn I see
In the stony grey soil of Monaghan
Dead loves that were born for me.
Patrick Kavanagh
orphicreview: Obviously any writing award is amazing, a dream, an unbelievable achievement but which are your favourites? And do you prefer rotating judges? I have some sort of weird attachment to Cúirt and the Patrick Kavanagh

The main gate that was bent by a heavy lorry,
The seat at the back of a shed that was a suntrap.

TomDEvelyn: PATRICK KAVANAGH The turn of the lyric to the question of the self is part of the turn to what transcends it by making it possible. This complex movement has roots in the sacred, the human recognizing itself as other. Lyric taps into the religious dimensions of open wholeness.

The falls for those who sit in the tremendous silence
Of mid-July."
