Abstract

Abstract: Dennis O'Driscoll's poetry expresses with honesty and depth the workplace ennui, the many dissatisfactions bred by consumer culture, and the search for social belonging and a sense of the sacred that people try to create in their lives. His poetry explores our engagements with the world through his acute perception of the fraying contours and the emotional and spiritual impoverishment of life in a mainly secular world. O'Driscoll's clear-eyed vision and colloquial language reveal a freedom from fashionable idioms and ideas that makes him a salutary presence in the world of Irish poetry and beyond.
