Guernica and Total War
Patterson explores how modern men and women respond to the threat of new warfare with new capacities for imagining aggression and death. This is an unflinching history of the locationless terror that so many people feel today.
Shell Vestige Disputed
Patterson writes with a clear focus on the stress and intonation of words and phrases, crafting complex and puzzling poems. Shell Vestige Disputed is a collection full of beauty and surprise.
Collected Poems
The Collected Poems of Ian Patterson pulls together the complete poetic works of the inimitable Patterson, from his debut in 1975 to last year's Shell Vestige Disputed. Included here is his brilliant Forward Prize winning poem 'The Plenty of Nothing' alongside a career and poetics that defies time. Ian Patterson's work is some of the most beautiful and important poetry ever written, making this a brilliant, poignant collection. Collected Poems is the best place to discover, or revisit, Patterson's poetry.

Time to Get Here
‘There is always a history to the shape of the mind’, wrote Jacqueline Rose recently, and one of the continuing preoccupations of these poems has been both to create a sense of the many forms of that shape and to register the history of the worlds which shape it and to which it responds with pleasure, guilt, anger, irony, hatred or love. These are poems which welcome distraction, in various forms, and which seem to have a lasting interest in registering and reproducing a sense of the uncanny. The strategies adopted veer between lyric mannerism and reconstructed second-hand words and, taken together, the poems chart a lazy form of investigative political thinking through the last three decades of the twentieth century and their phenomena.
Leaving Dev
A lonely undergraduate unravels when she reads her flatmate's diary; three backpackers start going 'troppo' in the wastes of the Australian Outback; an alcoholic doctor threatens to destroy all the household furniture after the death of his father. These are just some of the characters in Ian Patterson's penetrating new collection of stories centred about the West of Ireland and its complex diaspora. Old hatreds are revealed in a twenty-first century melting pot, a veterinary assistant decides that true independence takes a heartless act, and friendships are made and broken as a gang of boys go looking for trouble on a summer's afternoon. This comic, poignant, and sometimes startling collection is a fresh contribution to the rich tradition of the Irish Short Story.
