Devlin's 1930s letters show his efforts to enter and energise literary society in Dublin, his subsequent disillusionment with the state of the arts in a newly independent Ireland, his struggle to find employment, and his wavering between academia and a career as a diplomat. The letters to Thomas MacGreevy, in particular, are replete with critical reflections on Devlin's own work and the poetry of his time. In wartime Washington Devlin forms lasting friendships with the most influential American poet-critics of the time, Allen Tate and Robert Penn Warren, and begins work on translations from the poems of exiled French poet-diplomat Alexis Leger, a project partly conducted through correspondence. In his final decade in Rome international poetry networks are cultivated, notably that surrounding Princess Marguerite Caetani and her magazine Botteghe Oscure. These letters reveal the pleasures and insecurities of diplomatic life, and the difficulties in conducting an active creative life in tandem. Following Devlin's death in 1959, the edition concludes with a "coda" of letters from his wife Caren concerning the foundation of the Denis Devlin Memorial Award"--  |c Provided by publisher.
