Joe Cahill
'I was born in a united Ireland, I want to die in a united Ireland.' Born in Belfast in 1920, Joe Cahill has been an IRA man motivated by this ambition all his life. IRA activists rarely speak about their lives or their organisation, but here Cahill gives his full and frank story, his viewpoint, his experiences -- from Northern Irish prison cells of the 1940s, on a death sentence, to Washington when the Good Friday Agreement was being negotiated. He tells of the visit he made to Colonel Gaddafi to arrange for arms and ammunition, and the fateful voyage of the Claudia; Bloody Sunday and the burning of the British Embassy in Dublin; the high-drama helicopter escape of IRA prisoners from Portlaoise Jail. This is the story of an extraordinary journey, Cahill's own life mirroring the growth, changes and development of the republican movement as a whole through more than sixty years of intense involvement.

A Piece of Her Heart
Poetry to me is the sacred language of the heart and soul. It is the raw, uncensored, deep thoughts, experiences, senses, that come from my inner core. It is the magical part of the mundane. It is the description of the things not everyone sees and talks about. It is the connection to God, the universe, the moon and stars and everything in between. It is the flowers of the spoken world collected into a colourful bouquet. It is the flow of consciousness sometimes emerging from the unconscious, revealing the unknown. It is the life force pouring out and transforming into words that are an invitation to connect us in a meaningful, sacred and supportive way. A Piece of her heart is a collection ...
