|  | 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...

Release Date: December 9, 2008Widely regarded as the finest poet of his generation, Seamus Heaney is the subject of numerous critical studies, but no book-length portrait has appeared before now.

|  | James Joyce's Chamber Music: The Lost Song Settings
Publication Date: June 1993James Joyce's first published work, a little book of poems entitled "Chamber Music", appeared in 1907. Graceful, delicate, and patterned after Elizabethan 'ayres', the lyrics heralded the musical quality of language intrinsic to Joyce's genius. Joyce himself called the poems 'a suite of songs' and stated that they 'were meant to be set to music'. Joyce described the settings by Geoffrey Molyneux Palmer (1882-1957) as 'elegant' and 'distinguished' and made strenuous efforts to get them published and performed. However, the composer was strangely reluctant, and for m...
|  | 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...

Throughout this collection, Heaney's insight and eloquence are themselves of a poetic order. ...
