The Wound takes the form of two short books in conversation with each other; the first from the perspective of Sweeney, anti-hero of the epic poem Buile Suibhne, the second an 'interaction' with poems by Hoelderlin. Both books form a response to the destruction of the environment witnessed by the poet. This is Kinsella at his most powerful.
