“…Like the image of Tell described in the poem, Muldoon’s poetry extends to the history of the transatlantic diaspora between Europe and the United States with a global consciousness, demonstrating his universal concern for marginalized ethnic groups. As Justin Quinn, who is an Irish poet and critic, put it, “the major achievements and major failures of Muldoon’s poetry since the 1990s illustrate the difficulties and rewards of getting out there, of wring a poetry that itself is hybrid instead of merely talking about hybridity (Quinn, 2008: 185).…”

Moy Sand and Gravel (2002), a collection that won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2003, reproduces the life of early Irish immigrants in the United States. Migration, as a major social phenomenon, has changed the proportion of ethnic groups within a country with the increasingly frequent population mobility among countries, leading to conflicts among ethnic groups, such as competition in resource allocation, and thus having created one of the world's most pressing social issues. According to Robert Ezra Park , one of the iconic sociologists of Chicago school, migration "involves the change of residence and the breaking of home ties" (Park, 1928: 886) and the migrants' efforts in "striving to live in two diverse cultural groups" (Park, 881). Such issues caught much attention in sociology. In 1928, in his influential paper "Human Migration And The Marginal Man", Park developed the concept of "The Stranger" put forward by Georg Simmel , and coined the term the "marginal man". The "marginal man" refers to "a man on the margin of two cultures and two societies, which never completely interpenetrated and fused" (Park, 892). The concept serves as an important theoretical resource for sociologists to explore the immigrant group as a major cultural phenomenon in the era of globalization.Although applied in multiple fields, for example, in industrial sociology (Patten, 1965) and social psychology (Cheng and Lively, 2009;Lewin, 1939), this concept was originally used to analyze race or ethnic relations in immigration studies. William C. Smith (1934) examined the conditions of the hybrid race in Hawaii as a marginal group, which paved the foundation of field study for Parker's concept of the "marginal man". The theoretical value of the "marginal man" is further defined by several researchers. Aaron Antonovsky (1956) once mentioned the features of marginality as a social situation and explored the differences between the non-marginal people and marginal group in his interview of Jewish men in New Haven in his article "Toward a Refinement of the 'Marginal Man' Concept". Peter A. Johnson (1960) investigated the relationship between the social structures and these marginal men, then concluded that "marginal man" inclined to be a dynamic, transitional category. Recently, researchers represented by Alyssa M. Newman (2021) noticed the gap that exists between the fields of immigration and mixed-race studies, and traced

“…Justin Quinn hit the nail on the head when he commented: ‘As Heaney can neither speak nor read either Russian or Polish, his criticism [of Mandelstam and Miłosz] has only a tenuous purchase on the poetry itself. He is more interested in the examples of their lives as poets who resisted both the blandishments and terrific dangers of repressive political regimes’ (Quinn, 2008: 140).…”

From Miłosz to Kochanowski: The uses of Polish poetry in Seamus Heaney’s work

This article examines Seamus Heaney’s uses of contemporary Polish poetry in his work from the last two decades of the twentieth century. His interest in the poetry of Miłosz and Herbert reached its peak in the politicized 1980s, almost 20 years after their poetry was first published in English to great critical acclaim. The article argues that Heaney’s portrayal of Polish poets was an indirect way of articulating his own preoccupations and thoughts on the functions of the poet in modern times. The article looks also at Heaney’s co-translation of Jan Kochanowski’s Laments, as a necessary stage in the development of his concept of translation as cultural redress, leading towards the rearrangement of cultural, linguistic and political hierarchies.

“…But she is something of an anomaly, and an unsuccessful one at that. 10 Here, Quinn outlines the primary tensions of the seeming opposition between national continuity and modernist discontinuity that conditioned editorial debates in Irish journals and magazines. These tensions created a number of aesthetic responses, in none of which does Salkeld find a habitus.…”

‘The Woman Gardener’: Transnationalism, Gender, Sexuality, and the Poetry of Blanaid Salkeld

Blanaid Salkeld (1880–1959), a published poet, actress, writer of verse plays, reviewer, and publisher, is fascinating both as an active participant in literary and artistic circles of early and mid-twentieth century Ireland and as a poet in her own right. In terms not just of style but also of politics, Salkeld is considered neither postcolonial nor properly modernist. Salkeld's class and access to international influences would appear to disqualify her from subalternity, given the relatively privileged metropolitan circles in which she moved. And yet her metropolis, Dublin, while incubating much powerful creativity, was not a centre for the radical avant-garde experimentalism that had characterized high modernism. Her family had been part of the colonial machinery in India yet she had close working and personal friendships with Dorothy Macardle and other republicans. In this essay, I consider how the transnational poetics elaborated by Jahan Ramazani can re-situate Salkeld's seemingly anomalous work, moving it from the margins of Irish literature, to the centre of a ‘cross-hemispheric and transhistorical common terrain’, postulated by Ramanzani. I go on to argue that reading Salkeld's work across modernist and postcolonial discourses enlarges the possibilities for exploring her poetry's concern with issues of gender and genesis.
