By the Hearth in Mín A' Leá
Whether writing about the beautiful Donegal landscape, or as a gay man about the intense emotions of love, or about voices and events from the past that resonate in the present, or simply telling a story, O Searcaigh is always honest, clear-sighted and unafraid, lyrical, tender and funny: he tells it how it is."

Light on Distant Hills
LIGHT ON DISTANT HILLS is poet Cathal O'Searcaigh's memoir of his childhood in rural Donegal. A remarkably lyrical telling by one of Ireland's favourite poets, this memoir is Cathal's first work of prose in English. Cathal grew up in the 1950s and 60s on the harsh peaty acres of a Donegal hill farm, where his illiterate mother believed in the fairies and knew more about their movements than of their own neighbours. The locals were an assortment of odd characters too, from artists, drunken randy farmers to the all-conquering parish priest.

Out of the Wilderness
Sparkling new translations by Gabriel Rosenstock of poems from five of Cathal O Searcaigh's most startling and refreshing collections. Rosenstock's lengthy introduction and concluding essay explain O Searcaigh's unique position in the Irish literary corpus, shedding light on his relationships with west Donegal, his poetic influences, his mother and mother tongue. In these celebrations of Nature, love, friendship and the draw of poetic kinship the unexpected rises to the surface like foam formed under a waterfall during the spring thaw. (Bill Wolak)

Where Motley is Worn
From Ireland's emergence in the global economy and accompanying inward migration to its increasing emigration and racial strife following the 2008 recession, transnationalism has been a meaningful topic in contemporary Irish culture. Most scholars view the "new" multicultural Ireland as a rupture from earlier historical periods. This collection takes a different approach. Using transnationalism as a framework, the volume investigates how the multiple connections that Ireland has fostered with diverse parts of the globe influenced its literary output and production. Where Motley is Worn opens the borders of Irish literary studies, which has traditionally been dominated by a nation-centered focus. The essays in this collection cover both a wide historical period, covering the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries and a broad geographical range, from Asia to the Caribbean and Latin America. By examining writing that places Irish identity in dialogue with other cultural, national, or ethnic affiliations, the collection allows us to see how Irish literatures have participated in and shaped dynamic cultural flows across the globe.
