This inspiring collection of essays covers a broad range of topics: the passing of Seamus Heaney, meeting William Trevor, the Bayno (The history of the Iveagh Trust), being crowned Miss Mod in the 1970s in a dance hall in County Offaly, and travels in the Alps, among a host of others.

This is the debut Hennessy Award-winning short story collection by Irish writer Eileen Casey. These short fictions are rooted in the quotidian-a supermarket, a travelling salesman, a couple on a beach holiday-but they are full of wisdom, humanity, and sly humour.

Recently appointed as Poet Laureate of Milwaukee, Chapson reveals himself to be a deeply cultured sensualist who communes effortlessly between a pan-Hellenic past and a more offbeat latter-day Milwaukee. Attuned to the ancient, but alert to the present, he, like Cavafy, is a poet of time and desire.

A bilingual collection (in English and Irish) from the renowned Kerry poet, exploring themes of living with and coping with the complicated wonders of being bipolar.

The twenty-two stories in this collection explore themes of adult-child relationships, death and violence, and the Irish sense of place. These are essential stories about families and relationships under strain; there is love and betrayal, sickness and passing, humour and rivalry, all told in a mix of adult and child voices, each voice as honest as the last.
