The Appleman and the Poet, the fifth volume of Hubert Butler s essays, completes a thirty-year odyssey embarked upon by The Lilliput Press in 1984. Our flagship author has finally come home, welcomed by Fintan O Toole in his foreword: One of the great joys of these essays is the discovery of sentences as sharp and lithe as a Toledo rapier. The Appleman and the Poet places a capstone upon a project begun with Escape from the Anthill in 1985. Butler s essays, written over six decades, establish him as one of Ireland s great twentieth- century prose writers and thinkers.
