In the summer issue of the Dublin Review, Tim MacGabhann concludes his magnificent three-part essay sequence about his addictions and – here – his recovery, which began during an epic trek across Mexico City. This is memoir at its most visceral and probing, a deep dive into a troubled consciousness and the quest for better ways of being alive.
This volume celebrates the poetic heritage of the Emerald Isle, with more than 50 classic poems about Ireland's people, history, character and myths and legends. Its contributors include William Butler Yeats, William Allingham and other well-known Irish poets.
"In The Bower, Voisine gives us a gloriously astute travelogue poem in which the conflicts and reconciliations in Belfast serve as metaphor for our current, increasingly intense world. She braids Irish folklore, history, the fragility of the environment, and the politics of class, race, and gender with our unnerving American moment. The Bower is political, profound, wise, and deeply engaging."--Denise Duhamel, author of Blowout
