Stroking the Air
The work of Eileen Carney Hulme is a fresh addition to the arena of contemporary poetry, having breezed its way around much of the small press circuit. The most overpowering aspect of this author's work grips you, not because of her direct relationship with her subjects or for the way she accounts for her ideas using verse, but more so for the way she infuses sound, colours, textures and smells that she plucks from each moment, creating a vivid picture of living emotions that encompass each moment in her life. Her work is fresh and airy, tinged with romance and even in sadness she finds joy. It is refreshingly uplifting and poignant, capturing the heart of her relationship with life and love. - Ian Deal, poet and editor of A Bard Hair Day, The Poet Tree and ImageNation

Guarded by Dragons
The Times Best Literary Non-fiction Books 2021 - 'a super yarn' 'Rick Gekoski's encyclopaedic knowledge of rare books is matched only by the enthusiasm and brio with which he writes about them' Ian Rankin Rick Gekoski has been traversing the rocky terrain of the rare book trade for over fifty years. The treasure he seeks is scarce, carefully buried and often jealously guarded, knowledge of its hiding place shared through word of mouth like the myths of old. In Guarded by Dragons, Gekoski invites readers into this enchanted world as he reflects on the gems he has unearthed throughout his career. He takes us back to where his love of collecting began - perusing D.H. Lawrence first editions in ...
Venus in Pink Marble
Following the success of her thematically focused pamphlet Memory Forest, Gaynor Kane's debut full collection of poems opens outwards as she explores her personal history. Venus in pink marble takes the reader on a narrative journey from heritage and place, through family and relationships, to poetry inspired by culture. Venus in Pink marble is poet and public servant, protector and rebel, proposition and paradox, with feminine strength.
The Lithium Codex
Everything sings in these pages, from birds to buildings who remember the children who once lived there. The work is a soundtrack of ghosts, a world of recovery where the dead sit on deckchairs and the living compare themselves to chalk outlines on the pavement. Powerful, startling, and utterly original these prose poems have a pulse. Hardwick is a master of the form. Angela Readman Poems in The Lithium Codex shape pages of a book of melancholy; gently fabricated soft prose blocks of longings and losings; lyric attempts - doomed to fail but, as failure, always also positively self-contained - to home in on and perhaps also to shrink from, or simply to understand, the painful distance or chas...
Eat the Storms
"In a pamphlet saturated in colour, Damien Donnelly takes us on an immersive journey through a landscape of pigments. Written with great lyricism and emotional intensity, these poems contrast darker hues with lighter tones to create a sequence of poems that will linger in the memory."
Haughey
With exclusive access to the Haughey archives, Gary Murphy presents a reassessment of Charles Haughey's life and legacy. Saint or sinner? Charles Haughey was, depending on whom you ask, either the great villain of Irish political life or the benevolent and forward-thinking saviour of a benighted nation. He was undoubtedly the most talented and influential politician of his generation, yet the very roots of his success – his charisma, his intelligence, his ruthlessness, his secrecy – have rendered almost impossible any objective evaluation of his life and work. That is, until now. Based on unfettered access to Haughey's personal archives, as well as extensive interviews with more than eig...
The Stone Sleep
"This extraordinary and exquisitely-crafted pamphlet, the third from Romani poet Raine Geoghegan, has a unique silver thread running through it, of winter, sleep, stone... A tree is 'more stone than bark', a woman is stone, and tries to escape feeling; fatigue makes stone of another person. Of course the ultimate sleep is death, and there are poems which feature a woman finding her final 'atchin tan', or stopping place, on the road; a vigil is kept with a loved one nearing the end of their journey; a young woman is prepared for burial according to Romani customs; and a gravestone is searched for, lost in long grass. Rituals of birth, death and sex are celebrated. And behind the 'stone sleep'...
Cook Well Eat Well

An absolute delight of a cookbook offering a very modern way to eat.
