Thomas Kabdebo (editor), A Tribute To Attila Jozsef on the 70th Anniversary of His Death (Dublin: Abbey Press, 2007). No price given. When the position of the unsupported artist arises in discussion in Ireland, Patrick Kavanagh is frequently referred to as a telling case on what I shall call the litmus strip hardship scale.

The self besieged by want, fear, feelings of desolation, abandonment, and loneliness is familiar territory, albeit it in variant forms. Gerard Manly Hopkins, Jean Sulivan, Miklos Radnoti, Anna Akmahtova, Aleksander Wat, and Pablo Neruda suffered in a variety of ways; many, many poets of both the first and second world war period also suffered.
