Life by other means

Published to coincide with Enright's seventieth birthday in March 1990, these twenty-two essays provide a rich account of this much admired poet, critic, and novelist. Written by such distinguished poets and writers as Douglas Dunn, Blake Morrison, Naomi Lewis, Paul Theroux, Derwent May, Anthony Thwaite, Donald Davie, P.N. Furbank, and Peter Porter, among others, the essays comprise memoirs, biographies, and critical studies.
