The Throat-Bird
Afric McGlinchey is an Irish-born poet living in West Cork. Her collections are "The lucky star of hidden things" and "Ghost of the Fisher Cat", both published by Salmon Poetry; they also appear in Italian translation. SurVision Books brought out her chapbook, "Invisible Insane", in 2019. A prose poetry memoir, "Tied to the Wind", has been published in 2021 by Broken Sleep Books, and its Macedonian translation is forthcoming in 2025. According to Eiléan Ni Chuilleanáin, "The poems in this collection are shot through with light and energy. Remarkable for the clarity of their focus, their colour and inventive language, they speak about loss and love and human predicaments with open and hopeful insight; they swoop to conclusions that surprise and satisfy."
The Lucky Star of Hidden Things
A debut collection from Afric McGlinchey- narratives of an outsider, where symbolic imagery hides as much as it reveals.
Invisible Insane
Afric McGlinchey is an Irish-born, multi-award-winning poet based in West Cork. Raised in several countries in Africa, she has a close affinity with that continent. Afric is a post-graduate of English Literature and film (University of Cape Town), and studied journalism at Rhodes University. Previous collections include ""The Lucky Star of Hidden Things"" and ""Ghost of the Fisher Cat"" (Salmon Poetry). Her d?but was further translated into Italian and published by L?Arcolaio. A consulting editor with The Inkwell Group and a creative writing facilitator, she also reviews for a number of journals. According to Vona Groarke, she ""...moves really beautifully between strangeness and familiarity. What's also particularly striking is the tone and register of the language and how the flow carries you along with it.""
Carrying the Songs
Carrying the Songs explores what is lost to time and change, and what endures and is transformed: languages and landscapes, artefacts and songs, carried through a lifetime, across oceans, across centuries. A long-forgotten Gaelic word surfaces from childhood and is reanimated by use; a tiny Stone Age carving speaks across millennia of a shared human impulse to create. At the heart of this collection is migration, the rhythm that draws together the natural and the human worlds. Luminous and precise, Moya Cannon's poetry resonates like remembered songs. Included with the new poems in Carrying the Songs is a generous selection of the poems from Moya Cannon's much-praised earlier collections, Oar and The Parchment Boat.

Pit Lullabies
These intimate, visceral and often wickedly funny poems journey through the darker days of new parenthood, teasing out the anxieties which plague us when night falls. Violence against women, the destruction of our environment, the poisons and pitfalls of 21st-century living are explored here in poems by turns lyrical and earthy, yearning and angry. They mine gold from the darkness and seek luminescence in the deepest oceans. Pit Lullabies is Jessica Traynor's third collection, following Liffey Swim (2014) and The Quick (2019) from Ireland's Dedalus Press, and is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
The International Relations of Sub-Saharan Africa
"Despite the myth of marginality and irrelevance, Africa has always been inextricably linked to the global stage and has long played an important - often-vital - role in international politics. Critically analyzing the modalities of governance in large parts of Africa, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the continent's international relations, arguing that contra to the notion that Africa is a passive bystander to global processes, its elites have generally proven themselves excellent arch-manipulators of the international system. Chapters on American, British, French, Chinese, Indian and European interactions with the continent engage with chapters on the role of the World Bank and IMF and the "new" scramble for Africa's oil to explain such processes." --Book Jacket.
