Terual, north-east SIn the Dark novel by Anamaria Crowe Serranopain, winter, 1937. The civil war is raging, pitting neighbour against neighbour, tearing families apart. Franco’s  Nationalist rebels have surrounded the devastated, Republican-held city.  This is the story of a house, of the people who take refuge there – and a dangerous secret within. María and her sister Julita mourn their lost loved ones and try to bury their differences. But only one person knows the secret of the house, hidden deep in the dark– a deserter from the conflict, a soldier who has dared to leave the fighting to come home – and the woman who dares to protect him.

Description

Front cover Novel In The Dark

Praise for In The Dark

“A lyrical, richly textured novel of great beauty and depth that pulses with humanity and love amid the heartbreak and desolation of war…A graceful, impactful, insightful read.”  Lisa Harding

“A heart-breaking, fiercely honest and formally daring novel.”  Paddy Woodworth

“In The Dark tells the story of how men all but destroy Spain during its civil war – but the women waiting at home hold the country’s jagged pieces together. This is historical fiction with the pulse of life in it.”      Martina Devlin

 “A stellar and compelling Spanish Civil War novel cum love story. Never mind an ending which bequeaths more than a sting—something more like a whiplash—to a mighty tale.”   Anthony Glavin

 “A polyphonic prose poem…a tense, psychological thriller.”  Mary Morrissy

“Crowe Serrano guides the spotlight way from those who manage the war and onto those who manage in a war.” Keith Payne

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

Début collection of poetry from Northern Ireland poet Fiona Perry. ISBN 978-1-913598-12-9 Alchemy is an intriguing and compelling début collection of contemporary poetry from a poet who is already strikingly in command of her craft. Mingling daily life with the numinous, these poems reflect on love and loss, on the milestones of lived experience. These poems travel through time and space: from the magic  of ancient birds in a New Zealand landscape, to the intensive care ward where a loved one lies dying; from the daily round of household tasks, to the dreamworlds where memory, imagination and reality merge.

Cover of poetry collection Brink by Jo Burns
Brink by Jo Burns
Brink is a work that bears witness to a world hovering on the edge of crisis, yet sees hope in the compassion and empathy in personal relationships that forge the unbreakable bonds that bind us. From her vantage point of the post-truth, pandemic-afflicted present, Jo Burns turns her fierce analytical powers to the impact of propaganda and conspiracy theories on public and private discourse. Her unwavering eye roves over the bloody history of the 20th century, seeing our only hope in the personal connections which give promise for the future. These arresting poems are imbued with the multi-layered, highly textured craft of a poet at the height of her powers, committed to engaging with the most urgent questions of our time.
