Death in the Works of Galway Kinnell $144.22 Hailed as one of the most powerful and moving poets of his generation, Galway Kinnell has been commended by critics who often pair his name with such famous predecessors as Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, Robert Frost, W. B. Yeats, Rainer Maria Rilke, T. S. Eliot, and Theodore Roethke. Born on February 1, 1927, Galway Kinnell has been working on the strength and truthfulness of his voice for almost five decades now. This well-written work offers a very important perspective on a major living poet, focusing specifically on what is a key theme in Kinnell’s work–death. The author’s thematic analysis does not stop short with a direct reading of the poetry, it also seeks to place her subject within several contexts, including that problematic pivotal position between Modernism and Postmodernism, and a specific poetic tradition (including T. S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, Whitman and Dickinson). What emerges from the readings of Kinnell’s various poetry collections is essentially an extended philosophical meditation on death, that both offers itself as a commentary whilst also repeatedly showing, with much clarity, how complex a subject death is for Kinnell. This meditation on death also means a deep consideration of those other large themes that have asserted themselves in American poetry–transcendentalism, nature, and life itself magnified against the darkness of death in the poet’s work. This volume will make an important contribution to research on Kinnell and the author’s ability to follow her subject into a very complex labyrinth of philosophical and aesthetic discussions, while always being mindful that Kinnell remains central, offers much in the way of a good example ofliterary analysis and scholarship. This book makes a significant contribution to scholarship on Galway Kinnell, a major contemporary poet whose work will receive more and more attention over the coming years. In addition, this work also marks a contribution to scholarship on poetry, American literature and contemporary literature, as well as to the fascination with death as a theme in much of American literature, from Dickinson and Poe to Plath and Salinger. Death in the Works of Galway Kinnell will be a very valuable resource for students and teachers of contemporary poetry and American literature. |

Hotels in Galway City Centre by Helen Kelly
Galway city is a magnet for visitors all year round. Among its many attractions are the Spanish Arch and Eyre Square, and you can soak up the unique atmosphere of this pulsating city. The streets are lined with restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops and for somewhere to stay, we have a really good selection of Irish Tourist Board approved Galway hotels.
Hotels in Galway city centre Ireland are always in high demand, especially during the summer months. Nowhere in Ireland beats Galway – it’s buzzing with activity all year round, its nightlife is second to none and the general consensus from its horde of visitors is that it’s ‘great craic’.
There are plenty Galway hotels in the city centre with easy access to its famous landmarks, shopping and you’ll certainly not be too far from a lively traditional Irish pub. The most sought after location in the city centre for Galway hotels is, of course, in and around Eyre Square, and you’ll find it hard to beat the central location of the Skeffington Arms Hotel. This 3 star Galway hotel is actually on Eyre Square, so the perfect place to base yourself.
Forster Street is just around the corner from Eyre Square and there are a number of Galway hotels located here. These include the 3 star Forster Court Hotel, the very comfortable and ultra stylish 4 star Park House Hotel & Eyre House and the 3 star Eyre Square Hotel.
Other top Galway hotels within walking distance of Eyre Square include the 3 star Victoria Towers Hotel which is located in Victoria Place, literally a stone’s throw from Eyre Square, and the very popular 4 star Radisson SAS Hotel on Lough Atalia Road. It boasts a spa and leisure facilities and is ideal for a relaxing break.
The 3 star Jurys Inn Galway on Quay Street is always a popular choice when it comes to Galway hotels. It’s right beside the Spanish Arch, while another Galway hotel in this area on Lower Merchant Road is the 4 star House Hotel.
Other popular Galway hotels in and around the city centre offering an excellent standard of accommodation are the 3 star Galway Harbour Hotel which is only about a 5 minute stroll from Eyre Square, and the 3 star Western Hotel on Prospect Hill. This family run Galway hotel is made up of three Georgian buildings, so has an old style feel.
If you’re not one for the bright lights of the big city why not choose a Galway hotel in one of the leafy and more relaxing suburban areas?
Again there’s a good range of Galway hotels on the outskirts of the city to choose from. The 4 star Ardilaun Hotel is located on Taylors Hill about 1 mile from the city centre. Other options include the 4 Star Westwood Hotel near the University in Upper Newcastle, the 3 star Travelodge Galway Central on the Tuam Road – both of these Galway hotels are less than a mile from Galway city centre.
Other Galway hotels only a short drive from the city centre include the 3 star Flannerys Best Western Hotel, the 3 star Days Hotel Galway, both of which are on the Dublin Road, and for that special weekend away you can treat yourself to the 5 star luxury of The G Hotel which is located in Wellpark.
If you’re in Galway for a race meeting two excellent Galway hotels are the 3 star Racing Lodge Hotel, just off the Galway to Dublin Road and the luxury 4 star Clayton at Ballybrit on the Old Monivea Road.
Other Galway hotels on the outskirts of the city include the Quality Hotel & Leisure Galway in Oranmore, as you’re heading southwards out of the city, the 3 star Huntsman Inn, the 4 star Menlo Park Hotel on the Headford Road and the Courtyard by Marriott at Headford Point.
Also be sure to check out nearby Salthill. This lively seaside resort is only about 3km from town yet you’re right on the coast overlooking Galway Bay. There’s a good selection of Salthill hotels to choose from.
