	Title:		The Hunt by Night, Revised Edition
	Publisher:		Wake Forest University Press
	Pub. Date:		Fall 1995
	Description:		Mahon is always poised, but his poise is that of a man balanced on the edge of the abyss. What gives Mahon's work its secret weight is absence, the hollow heavy ache of all that is not there: happiness, love, family, the cherished place, whatever. - John Banville, The New York Review of Books. Derek Mahon has one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary poetry, Irish or otherwise. He is a witty Romantic, a Belfast Keats with a Popean sting. Mahon can be tragic, but he's never gloomy. - Brendan Kennelly, The Irish Times

	Author:		Mahon, Derek
	Title:		The Yellow Book
	Publisher:		Wake Forest University Press
	Pub. Date:		Spring 1998
	Description:		In The Yellow Book, the home-seeking traveler finds lodgings in our fierce fin de siecle under the roof of his Dublin attic flat. Amid echoes from dead writers, "clouds of unknowing" and ghosts from his own life, the poet muses wisely and wittily on our wound-down decade and expiring double millennium. -Wake Forest University Press. A magnificently playful book, intricately designed and executed, a worthy addition to the Mahon canon. -David Mason, The Hudson Review
