 | Poets and Poetry of the Great Blasket
Publication Date: December 31, 2003Seamas O Scannlain has brought together the work of three Blasket Island poets spanning a period of three hundred and fifty years. He has translated their work from the original Irish into English and the poems are presented here in both languages. These classic works paint a picture of a way of life that has almost disappeared from Ireland. Piaras Firtear (1603-1653) was a member of the pre-Cromwellian Irish gentry and his poetry carries the hallmarks of his class. Sean O Duinnsleibhe (1812-1889) belonged to the landless labourers of nineteenth century Ire...

 | Ocean Letters
Publication Date: May 20, 2011In this third collection of his poems, Irish poet Joseph Woods again returns to the theme of travel, at once deepening and expanding the concerns of his earlier work, while he also explores the meaning of return and homecoming, of being abroad in one's own place and of seeing the familiar from a new perspective.

 | The Juno Charm (Salmon Poetry)
Publication Date: June 4, 2012| Series: Salmon Poetry Nuala Ni Chonchuir reveals herself yet again as a witty and energetic purveyor of the happiness and pleasure that lie on the far side of the wall of common experience, that are to be discovered simply by following the natural path to our most physical and erotic selves. Because this is no ordinary life as the poet delivers it to us: instead, a wide-eyed excitement garnered from experience rears up, anchored by the sense of a woman in the fullness of love. Many poems speak of love and its intricacies, as well as its non-domestic aspects. A...

 | Horse Latitudes: Poems
Release Date: October 3, 2006| ISBN-10: 0374173052| Edition: First Edition The title of Horse Latitudes, Paul Muldoon's tenth collection of poetry, refers to those areas thirty degrees north and south of the equator where sailing ships tend to be becalmed, where stasis (if not stagnation) is the order of the day. From Bosworth Field to Beijing, the Boyne to Bull Run, from a series of text messages to the nineteenth-century Irish poet Tom Moore to an elegy for Warren Zevon, and from post-Agreement Ireland to George W. Bush's America, this book presents us with fields of battle and fields of...
