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.

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 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.
