Aistriúchán ar dhánta le Friedrich Hölderlin. Translation of poems.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus, by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, Oppenheimer thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic man who risks destroying the world in order to save it. The theoretical physicist's contributions to the Manhattan Project birthed the atomic bomb that went on to devastate Japan in 1945 and end the Second World War.

In The Conversation, Stephanie Norgate explores relationships between nature and the city, past and present, character and writer. Shaped through speech and storytelling, these visual, sensuous and imaginative poems celebrate friendship, even in grief, closeness in times of isolation and lockdown, and the longing to bridge gaps and find cures.

Bargain Bin Rom-Com is the first collection of poems by Leena Norms. From the politics of ice-cream to the permission slip you didn't know you needed, this is a tongue-in-cheek look at living on a planet that is filled with both doom and glitter.

Clocha míle ar chéimeanna cinniúnacha im’ shaol agus ar ócáidí suntasacha a chuaigh i gcion orm is ea na hiarrachtaí seo – iarrachtaí friotal seachtrach a chur ar mhothúcháin phríobháideacha, ar thochta bróin agus áthais a bhog mo chroí, agus iad á sceitheadh agus á gcraoladh agam mar cheiliúradh agus mar leigheas ar ‘suas síos’ m’aistir. Níl an cur chuige iontu i bhfad ón tuiscint sin ag Wordsworth gur athghabháil mothúcháin faoi shuaimhneas gníomh na cumadóireachta féin; ná ó thuiscint T.S. Eliot go bhfeidhmíonn an dán mar objective correlative (comhchoibhneasach oibiachtúil) a thugann ardú meanman agus sólás croí – más slán an chomparáid ar bhonn modheolaíochta seachas ar bhonn fiúntais!

Sean O Riordain (1916-77) was the most important Irish-language poet of modern times. He revitalised poetry in Irish, combining the world of Irish literature with that of modern English and European literature. His poems address 'the nature of human existence and the place of the individual in a universe without meaning' (Gearoid Denvir).

Adapted for the stage by the author, The Country Girls, the play, is a highly theatrical and free-flowing telling of this classic coming of age story.This new edition of The Country Girls was published to coincide with its UK premiere at Chichester Festival Theatre in June 2017.
