Patrick Kavanagh fut un poète et romancier irlandais, reconnu comme l'un des plus grands poètes du XXe siècle. Son œuvre est célébrée pour ses descriptions franches de la vie irlandaise, puisant profondément dans le quotidien et le banal. Les vers de Kavanagh explorent souvent le paysage rural et l'existence humaine avec un regard profond et sans fard. Son importance littéraire durable est cimentée par sa voix influente dans la poésie irlandaise et la reconnaissance continue de son héritage.

Time hardly mattered in the village of Mucker, the birthplace of poet and writer Patrick Kavanagh. Full of wry humour, Kavanagh's unsentimental and evocative account of his Irish rural upbringing describes a patriarchal society surviving on the edge of poverty, sustained by the land and an insatiable love of gossip. There are tales of schoolboy skirmishes, blackberrying and night-time salmon-poaching; of country-weddings and fairs, of political banditry and religious pilgrimages; and of farm-work in the fields and kicking mares.
