Best known as one of Ireland's most popular cartoonists, Mathews has for many years contributed poems to a number of small magazines and journals. This edition is his much-anticipated debut collection.

Born in Cork in 1953, Dorgan is one of Ireland's best-known poets. This volume is a vivid, sensual, technically brilliant new collection which transports the reader through time and space, history and myth, love and death.

Theo Dorgan's gripping account of a transatlantic voyage on the schooner Spirit of Oysterhaven-from the Caribbean to the coast of his native Cork-is both travelogue and meditation, interior journey and outward voyage of exploration. Dorgan's meticulously exact account of the labour and skills involved could well act as a handbook for anyone prompted to repeat the adventure. His feel for the history of the sea and sailing, drawn from wide reading, is tested against the practical realities of what is involved in such an ambitious undertaking. The qualities of endurance and willingness he must find in himself, the shared experiences that make four individuals into a crew, all these come as a succession of revelations. He brings a poet's eye to the immensities of the ocean, its lore, its mysteries and its secrets. As so many before him, he will learn that what you find on the journey, not the destination, is what matters. "A book for everyone"-Doris Lessing "This book exerts a form of curious hypnosis which stealthily insinuates its rhythms into your mind. It keeps you alert while somehow lulling you into a drift of easy reading. This enticing travelogue's curious spell is slow and incremental, yet all the more potent for being stealthy." -THE SCOTSMAN

In his introduction to this dual-Portuguese/English text "Selected Poems," Butler arranges Pessoa's poems thematically, thereby providing real insight into a poet of "astonishing post-modernity."

Irish poet Wyley's fourth collection is a celebration of a contemporary world she has refreshingly made her own. The poems, as noted by "Poetry Ireland Review," offer a "broad sweep of the 'inner eye' over her chosen subjects."

At once naturalistic and experimental, solemn and moving, and, by turns, hilarious and off-beat, Norwegian poet Odegard's work manages both to charm and chill in its honesty and simplicity.

These extraordinary poem-portraits . . . are a true poetic achievement (and) a work of great human value.--Ian Sansom, BBC writer-in-residence, Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry.

Originally published in 1999, this reissue of "The Last Dreamers" draws on Daly's first five collections, both from Dedalus and the Profile Press. "Distinguished work which deserves wide acclaim" "(Acumen);" "the best kind of religious poetry" "(Ambit)."

Considered a pioneer in Italian theater, Jacopone is probably nowadays best known as the author of religious poems, typified by their flamboyant and, sometimes, heartbreaking drama. He was filled with the conviction that God extravagantly loves sinful humans.
