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.
“…wry, sometimes beautiful, sometimes sad observations on people, things, nature and arts itself. Here’s a poet with some moxy, some style and some grace, who sings like a wounded winter bird and is worth listening to.” Kark Parkinson

1913598495 84 pagesRelease date: February 21st, 2024 Now available for pre-order. Her Red Songs is the most recent collection from one of Ireland’s most innovative and daring poets. Chris Murray’s remarkable body of work is a profound expression of connectedness with the environment, her poems evoking a delicate, yet often searing, contemplation of the place of the individual within the natural world. The poet's astonishing command of language, the dexterity of her use of punctuation and space, the precision of her craft, meld in the creation of these create beautiful, haunting poems that touch the reader at their deepest level.
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.
Everything Gathers Light - a delicate and profound collection of poetry, beautifully crafted, from a poet at the height of her powers. "Eithne Lannon’s second collection, Everything Gathers Light, is a primer of discovery and revelation. The poems meticulously dissect moments of everyday experience, freezing time as they unpeel every layer of perception and emotion, and patiently unveiling a natural world that is seamlessly integrated with our day-to-day lives. Anchored in the rivers and seascapes of North County Dublin, the precision of the language sets a spark of recognition that is universal, thereby reinforcing the sense that one of the primary ambitions of outstanding poetry must be to take the reader home." Maurice DavittISBN 9781913598464 Paperback 68 pages
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.
