Instead of a Shrine
Eil an N Chuillean in is one of contemporary Ireland's most beloved poets. Her debut collection won the prestigious Patrick Kavanaugh Poetry Award, her poems are included on the final exam taken by all Irish secondary school students, and, in 2016 she was appointed the Ireland Professor of Poetry by Irish president Michael D.

At Least for a While
We should all live to be eighty, exclaims one of two brothers on a low stool at a high bar in the rst poem in Pearse Hutchinson s new collection.

In a book of admirations and characteristic sympathy there are poems which chronicle experiences in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Milan, Lisbon and Seville. Closer to home the poet enjoys the sight of dandelions in all their glory and the immaculate ight of a magpie. His journeys into memory, and his re-examination of it, range from re ections on a generous painter and other encounters with art to moments of grief and near-perfection. At eighty-one Pearse Hutchinson composed poems remarkable for their air, vigour and bold authority.

Contemporary Irish Poetry, New and Revised Editon
The poems featured in this anthology are quintessentially human documents informed by humor, compassion, and a joyful and visionary element—an impulse to praise what is really life and to protect it from the naysayers—as well as by a salutary realism and irony. This revised edition features the work of Tom Paulin, Medbh McGuckian, Paul Durcan, Aidan Carl Mathews, Anne Hartigan, Nuala ní Dhomhnaill, and others who were not included in the first edition. Moreover, the selections from those poets featured in the first edition have, in many cases, been extensively changed and updated. In total, more than half the poems published in this second edition did not appear in the first.
