Whose Hand Would You Like to Hold...
Patricia McCarthy is a poet working on an epic scale, an ambition Agenda has always celebrated. All her recent volumes have a story to tell, something the poet needs to say, and we need to hear. Whose Hand Would You Like to Hold speaks to the truth of the plague now threatening our world, not in vacuous political rhetoric, but in the people and landscapes, images and metaphors which bring the threat to life. The truth is in the poetry, some of the finest this fine poet has written. William Bedford

A deft interweaving of architectural and social history
Trodden Before
Patricia McCarthy is a serious poet and a seriously good one. Trodden Before touches deeply on a wide-ranging history, adding the author's own special imaginative warmth to the strange and challenging story of Colonel McCarthy. The story begins in Ireland in 1916 and moves from there across the globe, touching on her personal experience in the East. It is a journey beautifully told and worth following and the technical skill of the poet, applied with delicacy and grace, colours the tale with rhyme, half-rhyme and a widely-ranging linguistic awareness. The result is a subtly musical and enchanting mix of fact and fiction. A rich addition to Patricia's already substantial achievement. John F Deane, founder of Poetry Ireland
The Word of God, the Word of Peace
The Word of God - The Word of Peace is about peace that is founded on justice, rooted in freedom, lived in charity, and spoken at personal risk. It is a book that celebrates the word of peace given us by God in the Scriptures. It is a book about how the Word of God can penetrate our incredulity, enlighten our vision, and strengthen our resolve to be a people of peace.
Our Last Great Illusion
Therapy may be mad,' declares Rob Weatherill in this outspoken volume. Therapy here means particularly psychotherapy and counselling, but should be also taken to signify the universal logic of the post-modern therapeutic culture of well-being, happiness and enjoyment. More and more people want to believe in therapy who have lost belief in anything else. Counselling and therapy increasingly inform all human interaction. The dominant ethos is a holistic one. This book aims to refute, primarily through the prism of modern psychoanalysis and key theorists like Baudrillard, Levinas, Lyotard, Paz, Steiner, Reiff as well as Žižek, the fashion for a return to a pre-Cartesian ideal of harmony and integration. On the contrary, there is something monstrous, something excessive, that Freud termed the death drive, at the heart of the Real upon which ordinary reality, so to speak, rests. Enlightenment thought, in which we in the West in particular are caught, is entirely incapable of going beyond the ideal humanist version of man - our last great illusion.
