Selected Poems
Peter Sirr is one of the bright stars of contemporary Irish poetry. His Selected Poems gathers poems from Marginal Zones (1984; winner of the Patrick Kavanagh Award), Talk, Talk (1987), Ways of Falling (1991), The Ledger of Fruitful Exchange (1995; winner of the O Shaughnessy Award for Poetry), and Bring Everything (2000). Sirr s poetry eloquently reflects the changing realities of Dublin city, where personal, philosophical, and political concerns have formal implications, matching the geometry of the streets and architecture, as well as the shoreline of Dublin bay, which beckons the city s inhabitants. His poems are sensually alert to the urban space around him and often brim over with luxuriant detail. Though Peter Sirr is always present to the world, sensitive to the language of the inarticulate, to the needs of love and desire, to what constitutes house and home, he is also consistently aware of what eludes us as we grasp experience, of what has no physical being."

Where Now Begins
Kerry Hardie's new poems are the work of time and the cycles of growth, they are songs about saints and scholars, the natural world, exaltation and suffering and ordinary joy, the quiet accumulation of the slowly learned lessons of a lived life. There are narratives of the wondrous bewilderments of life as well as homages to the dead and the dying.
The Man With Night Sweats
Thom Gunn's The Man With Night Sweats shows him writing at the height of his powers, equally in command of classical forms and of looser, more colloquial measures, and ready to address a wide range of themes, both intimate and social. The book ends with a set of poems about the deaths of friends from AIDS. With their unflinching directness, compassion and grace, they are among the most moving statements yet to have been provoked by the disease.
The Cambridge Companion to Irish Poets

Leabhar Na Hathghabhála
This is the first comprehensive critical anthology of modern poetry in Irish with English translations. It forms a sequel to Sean O Tuama and Thomas Kinsella's pioneering anthology, An Duanaire 1600-1900 / Poems of the Dispossessed (1981), but features many more poems in covering the work of 26 poets from the 20th century. It includes poems by Padraig Mac Piarais and Liam S. Gogan from the revival period (1893-1939), and a generous selection from the work of Mairtin O Direain, Sean O Riordain and Maire Mhac an tSaoi, who transformed writing in Irish in the decades following the Second World War, before the Innti poets - Michael Davitt, Liam O Muirthile, Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill, Cathal O Searcaig...
