This compelling début collection is imbued with a profound sense of place, rooted in memory and history. The poet mines her own lived experience with a delicacy of language that is also muscular and engaging. Earth Music was short-listed for the 2020 Shine/Strong Poetry Award as part of dlr Mountains to Sea Book Festival.

“One of the strengths of Eithne Lannon’s impressive début collection, Earth Music, is the obvious relish with which she explores both the sensory imagination and the linguistic means to render the sensuous palpable.”  David Butler, The Blue Nib, 2019

Description

“These poems are studied presences, careful of concept, sound, syntax and grammar, able to transpose an extraordinary sensibility into a careful system of lines. Lovely surprises gleam in the tracks and pleats that take you into brisures of received reality.”  Máighréad Medhb.

 

“…a collection which revels in language and its ability to render the everyday beautiful…Lannon is a poet of great linguistic facility, whose work is suffused with the numinous.” Jessica Traynor, Poetry Ireland Review 129.

DS Maolalai Sad Havoc Among the Birds published Turas Press Front cover
Sad Havoc Among the Birds by DS Maolalai
This is a beautifully-crafted, witty and sometimes sad exploration of the challenges of youth and contemporary life. Sad Havoc draws on the poet's memories, often viewed through the prism of his later experience of different countries and cultures. The poet's unique style, often playful, occasionally irreverent, is arresting in its evocation of the chaos, humour and the pathos of urban living.  ISBN 978-0-9957916-6-4    Click here to buy ebook of Sad Havoc Among the Birds

Historical novel set in 16th century Spain, the era of John of the Cross and the Spanish Inquisition
Canticle Liz McSkeane
ISBN: 978-0-9957916-3-3 Click here to buy an ebook of Canticle Canticle is a historical detective novel that delves into a 400-year-old tale of power struggles, political manoeuvring and misinformation. Fray Martín de Sepúlveda, Dominican friar and former professor at the University of Salamanca, is living in obscurity after a scandal that cost him his job. Three years later, he is summoned to Madrid where he receives a secret commission: to investigate the life and work of the long-dead Fray Juan de la Cruz, and to find the manuscript of his most famous poem, the Spiritual Canticle (Cántico Espiritual). As Fray Martín grapples with his investigation and the attentions of the Inquisition, he becomes embroiled in a quest to separate fact from fiction, reality from propaganda. "A formidable feat of imagination underpins this marvellous detective novel set in late 16th/early 17th century Spain...Canticle is a tale for our time, rife with insitutionalised power struggles, truth and misinformation, manipulated in the interests of the elite - same as it always was and is."  Anthony Glavin, The Independent Cover image by Jordi Forniés

Northly poetry collection David Toms published by Turas Press
Northly by David Toms
ISBN 978-0-9957916-8-8 Northly is a haunting evocation of the culture and spirit of northern lands, especially Ireland and of Norway, his adopted home. The language is stark, precise and unexpectedly poignant, as the poet traces the ancient and contemporary pathways of the wanderer. Out of many strands of history, family and the contemporary world, the poet creates a beautiful tapestry of images and impressions that is both mysterious and compelling.
