Plays & Poetry Irish

Northly is a haunting evocation of the culture and spirit of northern lands, especially Ireland and of Norway, the poet's adopted home.

These intimate, visceral and often wickedly funny poems journey through the darker days of new parenthood, teasing out anxieties over violence against women and the destruction of our environment. Pit Lullabies is Jessica Traynor's third collection, following Liffey Swim (2014) and The Quick (2019) from Ireland's Dedalus Press.

Includes brief biographical information on author (p. 80).

In this new collection, acclaimed Donegal writer Mary Turley-McGrath explores the magic and mystery of destination and destiny; of meetings and misses; of what might have happened. The poems range widely through time and space, and are keyed to the music and chaos of interconnection.
