Plays & Poetry

Début collection of poetry from Northern Ireland poet Fiona Perry.

30 years ago, the La Unión mines closed. Fiona describes the area's collectible minerals, the abandoned mines, including historical anecdotes about the people, mining communities, rocks and a way of Spanish life that is now gone.

Sylvia Plath was, for both English and American poetry, one of the defining voices of twentieth-century, and one of the most appealing: few other poets have introduced as many new readers to poetry.

Eugene Platt’s volume of Collected Poems provides the reader with an eloquent distillation of five decades of humor, heartache, history, and love. Whether writing about the simple pleasure of eating a Folly Beach hotdog or the profound permutations of the passage of time, Platt brings his world—and all of our worlds—alive.

In this volume, beautifully produced by Revival Press, Eugene Platt invites us to travel with him on a survey of a long writing life in poems that cloak their craft and technique in language deceptively simple and direct. He confronts tragedies and disappointments without bitterness or sentimentality, finding joy and hope in unexpected places. Eugene’s poetry speaks from the heart with a clarity of vision and generosity of spirit which make this volume a delight to read. —Michael Farry, Ph.D., Trinity College Dublin; author, The Age of Glass and Troubles.
