Daughters of the House, Catherine Phil MacCarthy’s fifth collection, opens with poems that arose during a residency in Paris. It begins with glimpses of that city in the present before reaching back to consider some of the many Irish artists who were drawn to and lived in the city, as well as the country they left behind.

Ethna MacCarthy (1903-59) was a Scholar and a First-Class Moderator at Trinity College Dublin where she taught languages in the thirties and forties before studying medicine. Perhaps best known to posterity for her relationship with Samuel Beckett and appearance in several of his writings.

Weeds United is the eclectic reader’s cornucopia with touches of Gabriel Rosenstock’s Infrearéalachas (Infrarealism), a Blindboy Boatclub podcast on the inside of a tennis ball (should he ever take it on) and the poet’s own unique brand of insightfulness, which the reader will find enthralling.
