Translating the poem, and the reader into the world of the poem

The elusive depth that lies behind the all-too-explicit ordinariness

An exploration of the complexities of identity and relationships

Darkly optimistic poems salvaged from the suburban humdrum

An anthology marked by warmth, bigness of heart and generosity of spirit

A collection in which many poems are akin to well-worked short stories

Poems marked by fierce imagination and enlivened by puckish wit

Two new poetry collections from Louise Callaghan and Jean O’Brien

The compassionate vision and literary mastery of Eleanor Hooker

New poetry volumes from Annemarie Ní Churreáin and George Szirtes
