Arlen House

A new poetry collection, at the age of 88, by a writer who first became interested in writing in the 1940s and 1950s when she met famous Irish writers Peig Sayers and Blanaid Salkeld. Over the subsequent 70 years she has fine tuned her feminist inclinations into a celebration of women who changed the world.

In this contemporary drama, five women go to a house party for a cosmetics sale. The women soon learn the cosmetic manufacturer has a special formula laid out for the evening, which they insist on being followed. Dissatisfied with the formula, the women break the rules with consequences they couldn't have imagined.

In these dark, witty stories, award-winning author David Butler follows the lives of characters who are driven to the edge, and shines a light on the many sides of what it means to be Irish in the twenty-first century.

Through critical and creative responses, Eavan Boland: Inside History takes a fresh look at Boland's influence as a poet and critic for the twenty-first century. The essays, poems, and interviews gathered here provide a new frame for critically engaging with Boland's work, one that crosses continental and aesthetic boundaries.

Carr's poems explore the lives of two women who lived contemporaneously but never met Dorothy Wordsworth and Mary Ann McCracken. The poems reflect how they lived their lives alongside their more famous brothers, with Mary Ann's political strength carrying her through tragedy and Dorothy's calmer "foxglove feeling" for life.

This pioneering anthology goes beyond awareness building to engage seriously with the societal prevalence of sexist abuse and domestic violence, and the legacies of that abuse and violence in the lives of survivors. Approaching difficult subject matter with candor, sensitivity, and grace, the volume is timely, and deeply moving.

Poet and prose writer Eileen Casey ahs collaborated with visual artist and poet Jeanne Cannizzo to produce this stunning collection. The bbok is drawn from an art exhibition in 2021 that featured drawings and sculptures by Cannizzo, and poetry by Casey, together with a short film, Bog Treasure.
