Plays & Poetry

This is a collection that celebrates the natural world, its mysteries and the human stories that it hosts.

Clinging Vines introduces us to a poet of remarkable precision and uncompromising vision. In this stunning collection, Katherine Noone chronicles the arc of departure and return, weaving together the threads of two worlds: the New York of her emigrant years and the transformed Ireland that awaits her homecoming.

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.

First published in 2021 Amhráin agus Dánta le Próinséas Ó Ceallaigh. Songs and Poems with Próinséas Ó Ceallaigh.

Máirtín Ó Direáin, widely recognized as one of the leading Irish-language poets of the 20th century, also possessed a talent for writing concise and elegant prose.

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!
