"...inspiring and beautiful." "[Marty] uses words as a weapon, but as a shelter; as a threat, but as inspiration all at once." "This is amazing. Truly inspiring." "Sometimes we need a reminder of how phenomenal we really are. Out loud, in fluid words. Oh, Sleepur! is just that." "[Marty] has a way with his words. Words that inspire me and yet leave me insecure, wondering whether I could do what he has."The debut bo...

 | Collected Poems of Denis Devlin
Publication Date: December 1989In 1934 Samuel Beckett named Denis Devlin and Brian Coffey as "without question the most interesting of the youngest generation of Irish poets".When the first edition of the present volume appeared in 1989 (in what would prove to be the year of Beckett's death), he signalled his appreciation with a brief message which concluded: "Amends at last." Yet in recent years Devlin's visibility has again faded. Though often cited as one of the great modernist and modernising influences on Irish poetry, his substantial body of work is both under-read and perhaps as often...

 | Nine Sons: Collected Mysteries
Publication Date: February 22, 2002GREAT STORIES BY AN EDGAR WINNERWendy Hornsby does not write cozies, or tales about cat sleuths, or sanitized murder. Her tales explore the depths of the human psyche, and her family-crimes are decidedly uncozy. In the title story, which won the Mystery Writers of America Edgar for Best Short Story, a heart-wrenching mystery surrounds a family living on the Northern Plains during the Depression. "Ghost Caper" is probably the purest example of noir fiction by a modern mystery writer – and it is not for those of delicate constitution. "High Heels in the ...
