The Book Of Judas Brendan Kennelly. Here, the author plays devil's advocate, exploring the 'poetryworlds' of one ace de horner who is slowly going blind. Judas is a character that must be disturbing at least some of the time.
‘prades’ and ‘skool’ seem, with hindsight, to predict and perhaps also to be lampooning what later and younger poets would attempt to introduce—a language which matched that of new technology and contemporary slang. But judas never goes away.
