Plays & Poetry

Larry Stapleton's posthumous collection The Tide reflects on the landscape, nature, the sea and humanity itself- never neglecting the inclusion of the small wonders. Always alert to the 'out of the ordinary things in the day'; strikingly honest and emotionally direct, articulating the response to loss and the pain of loss, with an awareness that we must 'get on again with life'.

Land of the Ever Young is the final volume of a set of three anthologies of working people’s writing from contemporary Ireland published by Culture Matters.

Strictly No Poetry, Mathews' fourth volume of poetry, and first in twenty years, includes forty-eight new poems and sequences. Collectively they explore themes of religion, sexuality and mental illness.

A Lick and a Promise is the debut poetry collection of one of Ireland's most famed female musicians, Imelda May.

Static is a lyrical, searching play by Jimmy McAleavey about isolation and the painful contradictions that surface when people try to connect.
