How to Sleep with Strangers, Ross Hattaway, Dublin:Turas Press 2017.
ISBN 978-0-9957916-1-9 These are innovative, contemporary poems that both entertain, and challenge readers to examine assumptions and stereotypes. Hattaway's laconic and playful tone often lulls the reader into a false sense of security, until he expertly delivers the incisive line or phrase that stops us in our tracks. Funny, often poignant, always compelling, How to Sleep with Strangers is a triumph of wit and wisdom. Cover Image by Paul Hattaway Click here to buy Kindle edition of How to Sleep with Strangers

So Long, Calypso, by Liz McSkeane, Dublin: Turas Press, 2017
The conversational tone of many of the poems in this collection belies the subtle craft that underlies and unifies disparate themes. So Long, Calypso is peopled by a cast of characters recognisable from ancient history and myth, from recent history and from contemporary culture. The musings of these various personae are by turns reflective and urgent, their concerns social and political, as well as deeply engage with navigating the challenges of different stages of life. “ ISBN 978-0-9957916-0-2 Click here to buy ebook of So Long, Calypso
