A Man Is Only As Good
A Man Is Only As Good is a pocket-sized introduction to the poetry of award-winning Irish poet and writer Pat Boran, drawing on five previous full-length collections and including the late Dennis O'Driscoll's prose introduction to the poems. Described as "a writer of great tenderness and lyricism" (Agenda, UK), Boran makes heartfelt, deceptively simple poems that are at once "local and international, personal and scientific, full of wisdom and wry humor" (Irish Literary Supplement, USA).
Writing Home
In Writing Home: The 'New Irish' Poets, more than 50 poets from all over the world explore the many meanings and connotations of the word 'home'. Hailing from places as diverse as India and Italy, Poland and Pakistan, Canada and the Democratic Republic of the Congo - as well as the US, the UK and Ireland itself - together they present an updated picture of a changing country while, at the same time, expanding the very definition of 'writing from Ireland'. The poems gathered here are as various and lively as we might hope for. Some contributors might be said to 'write home' in the traditional sense, describing and explaining what they find in the place they now live; for others 'writing home' is a determined, creative act of self-definition. For all of them there is the real sense that writing is itself a kind of home-building, not least at a time when so many borders, physical and psychological, are under threat of closure across the world.

One of the best and most popular of the younger generation of Irish poets This is Pat Boran's third collection. Some of his poems have appeared in The Atlanta Review, North Dakota Quarterly, The Southern Review, and Potpouri. He won the Patrick Kavanagh Award in 1989.

As If By Magic
This Selected Poems gathers together work published between 1991 and 2016 from collections that have been lauded, awarded and widely translated, collections that have gained a large audience and a considerable reputation, nationally and internationally, for one of Ireland's foremost poets and most distinctive voices. A great deal has changed in the world in the arc of time covered by these poems, and those changes are noted and considered by poems that are remarkable for their clear-eyed witness. Meehan's devotion to, and mastery of, her craft, has always been one of the key signatures of her work, as has been her immersion in her beloved native Dublin. In her Selected Poems we see this and more -- her uncompromising engagement with the politics of gender and class, her love of the natural world and her grief at what threatens it, her holistic and visionary impulse to bless the creation, to be grateful for her place in it.

Dublin Noir features an awe-inspiring cast of writers who between them have won all major mystery and crime-fiction awards. This collection introduces secret corners of a fascinating city and surprise assaults on the "Celtic Tiger" of modern Irish prosperity. "The stories paint a picture of Dublin as the Celtic Tiger, a beast crouched on its hind legs about leap at you and roaring with its intensity . . . The cynicism and despair of classic noir is portrayed within each of these stories." --Metro LA "Dublin Noir is perhaps the best short story anthology I've read." --Reviewing the Evidence
As the Hand, the Glove
This is a new collection from one of Ireland's most loved younger poets. Here Pat Boran focuses on the themes of love and the death of a father, on the deeply disturbing facets of contemporary life that threaten love and family. A best-selling poet in Ireland and the U.K., the cynicism of the poet about the world's hypocrisy is here offered in a quietly impressive voice, one that must answer the doubts and worries many people have that love and harmony can yet be achieved in our world.
