Paperback. Condición: Good. Has there been a more thankless path in recent history than the one we are on now? Medbh McGuckian' s newest volume asks this question, conceived in the years between the centenary anniversaries of the 1916 Rising and the establishment of the Northern Irish State in 1921. Poems are preoccupied with imprisonment, from the County Down Maze Prison to the sentencing of revolutionary nationalist Constance Markievicz, as violence mingles with a dreamlike glow: " The unintended beauty of this map / of bomb damage." McGuckian' s familiar angels flutter at the edges of poems alongside images of Mars and the earth-like alternate universe of Kepler452b. An invisible illness haunts many of the poems-- " One longs to go to a hospital and have something / cut out." Written between personal and public histories, based in both borrowings and startling associations, McGuckian continues to craft a singular lyric subjectivity open to the multiplicity of experience: When I was in my right mind my body was doing its best without me-- when I say ' talking to myself' I mean there are two of me. -- From " The Plume Trade". …

Paperback. Condición: Good. The Astrakhan Cloak offers poems selected from Feis, N Dhomhnaill's collection in Irish, and translated by Paul Muldoon. N Dhomhnaill's skillful negotiations between the forms, fables, and idioms of an older Ireland and the commodity culture, depth-psychology, and Eurospeak of modern Ireland are disclosed by the playful, accurate language of Muldoon who has been called the most charismatic poet of the British Isles.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Painting Rain explores an Ireland where uncontrolled development is tearing apart a sustaining ecology. Paula Meehan sifts through the lore and memory available to her: her own journey through life, the small victories and large defeats that shape a world. Hers is an ambitious meditation, from that point where private memory, mythology and ecology meet.The home, the city's heart, neglected suburban battlegrounds, all are shot through with visionary light. In poems of loss, hymns to the empty world, celebrations of people and place, Meehan confronts the darkness that everywhere threatens. These are poems that sustain belief in the power of language to reveal, interrogate and heal.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In Stephen Sexton' s remarkable debut, the video games of his childhood are once again a way to slip through the looking glass; to be in two places at once; to be two people at once. In these poems about the death of his mother, Sexton charts the familiar levels of Super Mario World, whose flowered landscapes bleed into our world-- and ours, strange with loss, bleed into it. This moving, otherworldly narrative is a daring exploration of memory, grief, and the necessity of the unreal.…
