FRESH NEW TITLES 1
Big-Eyed Afraid
Erica Dawson
Winner of the 2nd annual Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize
There were more than 450 entries for the 2006 contest – a 25% increase from 2005 – and
it took the press’ screening panel three months of careful reading, deliberation and discussion to narrow the field, first to twenty semi-finalists, and then to ten finalists. The latter
(stripped of all identifying references) were then sent to the 2006 judge, Mary Jo Salter, who
rang Ms Dawson with her decision on April 20th.
Erica Dawson was born in Columbia, Maryland in 1979. Majoring in the Writing Seminars,
she received her BA with departmental honours from Johns Hopkins University in 2001.
After earning her Master of Fine Arts from Ohio State University in 2006, she moved south
to the University of Cincinnati, where as the Elliston Fellow in Poetry, she is pursuing a PhD
in English and Comparative Literature. Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Barrow Street, Blackbird, Sewanee Theological Review, Southwest Review, and Virginia Quarterly Review. She has been awarded several fellowships prizes, including the Academy of
American Poets Prize at Ohio State University, and also second place in the 2004 Morton
Marr Poetry Prize.

An Irish Eye
Gerry Adams
The recent years covered by this unique book have seen momentous events in Irish republicanism and in the politics of Ireland as a whole. From the IRA decision in 2005 to formally
end its armed campaign and to put its arms beyond use, to the Sinn Féin decision in January
2007 to support the policing and justice system, unparalleled historic change has taken place.
In An Irish Eye Gerry Adams brings his own perspective to bear on these developments. An
accomplished writer as well as political leader, he describes the events in which he has played
such a significant role with insight, passion and humour. He gives the reader an unrivalled
insight into pivotal moments of recent Irish history, and he takes the reader behind the scenes
to witness events that continue to shape Irish society today.
Includes Gerry Adams’ historic appeal to the IRA and his call on Sinn Féin to support the policing and justice system. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand Irish politics now.
It is not just about the peace process; it includes observations about his visits to the Basque
country, the Middle East, South Africa, and the USA. He also comments on the Celtic Tiger
and other aspects of life in Ireland today; he takes a verbal poke at the establishment, and he
gives us a peek at some personal and humorous episodes as well as the more serious life and
death issues.
President of Sinn Féin and Westminster MP for West Belfast, Gerry Adams has been a published writer since 1982. His books have won critical acclaim in many quarters and have
been widely translated. His writings range from local history and reminiscence to politics
and short stories, and they include the fullest and most authoritative exposition of modern
Irish republicanism.

House of Memories
Alice Taylor
Following his brutish father’s unlamented
death, young Danny Conway strives to rescue the family farm from ruin; when all
seems hopeless, help comes from the most
unexpected quarter. House of Memories
tells a story of resilience in the face of family tragedy; a story, too, of bereavement and
grief, and of trying to cope with loss.
“In Ireland, where scribblers are ten a
penny, she has become the most popular
and universally loved author in memory.”— Mail on Sunday
“There is no writer more full of the milk of human kind ness."—Books Ireland

Manchan Magan
Angels and Rabies follows the author on a
backpacking trip through the Americas.
Along the way he meets a Hollywood starlet, witnesses the outbreak of war in
Ecuador, and ends up in the mighty Amazon
jungle. Magan is uniquely qualified to document his journey, having written, presented
and co-produced over 50 travel documentaries that have aired on such TV programs
as the Travel Channel. This fantastic, compelling account tells the story of what a young Irishman can do
when let loose on these continents.

Billy, Come Home
Mary Rose Callaghan
A thirty-year old woman travels to London
to identify a body that has been fished out of
the Thames; it is believed to be that of her
brother, Billy. The narrative flashes back to
the brutal murder of a teenaged girl, when
Billy was regarded suspiciously by the neighbors, who sent him hate mail. Billy, Come
Home is both a moving novel about a mentally ill man in need of a home and a mystery novel, set in present day suburbia.

Desmond Ellis

No Paradiso
William Wall
“Irish writer William Wall’s total com mand of words is demonstrated again....
There is something painterly about the way
William Wall draws his characters, using
just two or three deft strokes to bring a
character to life... Little of what happens
in the stories is particularly dramatic, but
the instances of cruelty and human frailty
that occur linger in the memory long after
each story is finished... The reader cannot
fail to be mesmerised by the quality of the prose and the poet’s
gift for the perfectly chosen word.”—Sunday Tribune

Dreams Of Hope
From Dublin to Geelong
Lily O’Connor
This powerful story of an Irish emigrant
family is filled with love, life, and the struggle to make them fit together. When Lily
O’Connor married Paddy in Dublin, she
soon found herself emigrating to England
and finally Australia. While courageously
centering her large family, Lily also had to
contend with difficult circumstances and
her husband’s ambitious dreams. Lily’s candid voice tells the story of all families
forced to emigrate from Ireland in the 1950s.

Hunger Strike
The Luck Penny
Reflections on the 1981 Republican Hunger Strike
Edited by Danny Morrison
John Maher
Well-known novelists and poets, former
prisoners and activists reflect upon the
deaths of the ten republican hunger strikers
who died in protest to gain political prisoner status from the British government in
Northern Ireland. Their deaths proved to be
a turning point in relations between Britain
and Ireland in the early 1980s. Most of the
pieces here were specifically commissioned,
and while they differ greatly, they have in
common a sense of the intensity of the experience of the
hunger strike at the time, and the intensity of the impression
made by it even today.

The Lightning Tree
P.J. Curtis
This is a story told by Mariah, a woman
healer who lived in harmony not only with
the special environment of the Burren in
Co. Clare, Ireland, but with the spirits of
past generations; a woman who drank deep
from the well of traditional wisdom and customs, yet whose view of the world resonates
with meaning for the present and future. It
is a story of love surprisingly found and
tragically lost; of the struggle of an independent woman who was viewed with suspicion, whose healing
powers were sought by many yet condemned from the pulpit. A
life which began in the shadow of the Great Famine and ended
as electricity began to reach the byways of the west of Ireland.

Miss Katie Regrets
Jack Barry
A seemingly humdrum shooting of an exparamilitary anti-drugs campaigner leads
Detective Thomas Barrett to an online male
prostitution service and to hints of a link
with a politician appearing at a tribunal into
corrupt property speculation. Barrett is
given ‘sick leave’ as new forces within the
British and Irish centers of power allow him
to pursue the sensitive investigation offstage.

In the summer of 1849 Queen Victoria is
on the throne; the British Empire is at its
zenith; the Californian gold rush has started, and cholera stalks the streets of London. In an Irish rectory, his wife and
younger daughter away in London, Dr John
Drew finds the peace and quiet to work on
a cuneiform inscription of Darius the Great
from Persepolis. But now his fellow translator has abandoned him, his maid has run
out on him, his older daughter has eloped with a Catholic
farmer, and a murder suspect comes calling...
The Luck Penny is a tale of a man and a woman and the secret
scriptures of the dead. It is a tale of coming to terms with that
tragedy of tragedies: the death of a child. The Luck Penny, ultimately, is about the victory of life over memory.

Paul Charles

Of his earlier work:
“...Christy is an appealingly unpretentious
hero fit to while away a quiet couple of
hours.”—Kirkus Reviews
“The novel is delicately plotted and populated by very likable people.”—Booklist
“A good puzzle, memorable characters and an elegant, if not
simple, solution should help move Charles’s series into the top
rank of British police procedurals.”—Publishers Weekly

4 MYSTERY
Truth Dare Kill
No Tears for the Lost
Gordon Ferris
Adrian Magson
World War II is over but there are no
medals for Danny McRae. Just amnesia
and blackouts; twin handicaps for a private
investigator with an upper-class client on
the hook for murder. It gets harder: newspaper headlines about a psychopath in London’s Soho stir grisly memories in Danny’s
fractured mind. As the two bloody sagas
collide and interweave, Danny finds himself
running for his life across bomb-ravaged
London. Will his past catch up with him before his enemies?
And which would be worse? Fast-paced post-war noir, with
grimly accurate London setting.
It’s Palmer’s job to keep journalists like
Riley Gavin at bay. But when Sir Kenneth
receives a gruesome death threat, the partners-in-crime-busting stop pulling against
each other. With the help of former intelligence officer Jacob Worth, they soon discover that that Sir Kenneth has more
secrets than the Borgias—and his crumbling country house is shored up by a powder which doesn’t come in Cement bags.
Latest in the popular thrills-and-spills series from British
author, Magson.

vital kilt-raising stunt by Andy Green, the mystery is finally
solved ...or is it?

6 FICTION
Two new collections from director Ken Russell
Ken Russell has worked on both the big and small screens with such unforgettable films as Women in Love, The Music Lovers,
The Devils, The Boyfriend, Tommy and Altered States to his credit. He also directed a number of innovative opera productions
from Madam Butterfly and La Bohème to Gounod’s Faust. He has written several books and lives in England. With such legendary films as Elgar, Delius: Song of Summer and Mahler, Ken Russell long ago blew apart the notion that classical composers
were as stately in their private lives as in their music.
Beethoven Confidential
& Brahms Gets Laid
Elgar The Erotic Variations
& Delius A Moment with Venus
Ken Russell
Ken Russell
In these new ‘novel-biographies’, based on the
known facts of two of the greatest musicians
that ever lived, Russell reinterprets the lives
of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) and
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) for the printed page with his customary wit, imagination
and irreverence. He provides the reader with
biographical novels that are simultaneously
revealing, boisterously entertaining, occasionally outrageous and iconoclastic.
In another set of his new ‘novel-biographies’, Ken Russell reinvents the quintessentially English Edward Elgar
(1857-1934) and Frederick Delius
(1862-1934). Very different in character, the two of them—both provincial
lads—come alive in a new way.

The Demanding Dead
Guilty
More Stories of Terror and the Supernatural
Edith Wharton
Anna Kavan
With eight outstanding ghost stories, this
collection highlights Edith Wharton’s ability to switch genres seemingly without
effort. The same literary genius evident in
her best known works such as The Age of
Innocence, Ethan Frome and The House of
Mirth is here dedicated to giving the reader a damned good scare. Stories such as
‘Kerfol’ (adjudged by aficionados to be
Wharton’s best ghost story) and ‘Pomegranate Seed’ are perfect illustrations of consummately crafted horror fiction. Wharton’s vivid sense of the supernatural
betrays her deeper anxieties about the claustrophobia of
domestic life and the pain of a failing relationship.
Of Edith Wharton’s previous ghostly collection:
“While they display the elegant prose of her novels, these tales
revolve around supernatural manifestations (vampires, doppelgangers) made credible by Wharton’s superb storytelling

After years languishing in the archives of
the University of Tulsa, Anna Kavan’s
unfinished work, Guilty, is being published
for the first time.
Set in an unspecified time and landscape,
Guilty is narrated by Mark, a man living in
a country divided by war. A returning soldier, Mark’s father declares himself a pacifist and is exiled, leaving Mark in the care
of a shady government agent who becomes
a dominant, controlling force in Mark’s life. When Mark
attempts independence to pursue an engagement with the
docile Carla his life begins to unravel. Thwarted at every turn
by bureaucracy, he begins to fall prey to the machinations and
insecurities of his guilt-ridden mind.

I Live Under a Black Sun
The Heather Fields and Other Stories
Edith Sitwell
John F. Deane
Dame Edith Sitwell, wit, notorious
eccentric, and poet, is not normally
thought of as a novelist. But her only
novel, I Live Under a Black Sun, is a
true forgotten classic. Garlanded with
extravagant praise on its release, it is
being reprinted here for the first time in
almost 50 years. Set during and after
the First World War, the novel was
inspired by the life of Jonathan Swift. It
follows Jonathan Hare, writer and misogynist, through his
tragic relationships with two women who are likewise based
on real people in Swift’s life. Luxurious, angular, poetic,
and sprinkled with allusions to Swift’s most famous works
and correspondence, I Live Under a Black Sun is a work
that will surely entrance a whole new generation of readers.

The Enormity of the Tragedy
A Cautionary Tale for the Viagra Generation
Quim Monzó
Translated from the Catalan by Peter Bush
Quim Monzó is the foremost Catalan
writer of his generation and has been
translated into over a dozen languages.
The Enormity of the Tragedy is regarded by many as his greatest work.
At once a dirty joke and a high-brow
novel, this book tells the bizarre story of
Ramón Maria, a balding middle aged
widower who works as a trumpet player
in a burlesque show. He has a hostile
relationship with his stepdaughter who steals from him
while going through her own dramas of adolescent love.
After a night of embarrassing, drunken impotence, Ramón
finds this problem permanently fixed, making him infinitely more attractive to the opposite sex. Tensions build until
his stepdaughter finally resolves to kill Ramón.
This novel has been hailed across Europe as a masterpiece
of literary parody. Newcomers are bound to find Quim
Monzó’s work funny, endearing and of searing intelligence.
“Monzó has managed to create a novel in which life and
death are drawn with a untamable peculiarity.”—El País
“This is without doubt the best of his books”—La Vanguardia
“A gifted writer, he draws well on the rich tradition of
Spanish surrealism.”—New York Times

8 SCANDINAVIAN FICTION / ROMANCE
The Beauty of History
Julia Gets a Life
Viivi Luik
Translated by Hildi Hawkins
Lynne Barrett-Lee
The Beauty of History is a novel of poetic intensity, of fleeting
moods and captured moments. It is powerfully evocative of life
within the Baltic States during the Soviet occupation, and of
the challenge to artists to express their individuality whilst
maintaining at least an outward show of loyalty to the dominant ideology. It tells the story of a young Estonian woman
posing for a famous sculptor who is trying to escape to the
West. Chance remarks overheard prompt memories of people
and places, language itself becomes fluid, by turns deceptive
and reassuring. Written on the cusp of independence, as Estonia and Latvia sought to regain their sovereignty in 1991, this is a novel that can
be seen as an historic document—wistful, unsettling, and beautiful.
A hilarious and romantic thirty-something
novel about a woman who leaves her philandering husband to embark on a very
alternative voyage of self-discovery.

This novel revolves around the weekly ‘sewing circle’ meetings

their thoughts and memories reveal the spiteful, long-buried
motivations behind seemingly innocent actions. The masks
finally drop during an eight-course meal on a celebratory trip
to Copenhagen, revealing undisguised fear and loathing.
Shocking secrets are unearthed as the balance of power subtly shifts from one to the other. Brilliantly observed, this is
female bonding at its worst, manipulative, and psychotic,
exposing the dependency and deceit behind the compassionate and affectionate façade.

Tschandala
August Strindberg
Translated by Peter Graves
August Strindberg (1849-1912) is best known internationally as Sweden’s greatest dramatist. Less well known outside Sweden is the range of his other writings—novels, short stories, essays, journalism, and poetry. This novella, translated into English here for the first time, was written in the autumn of 1888.
Set in the 1690s, in a province of Sweden recently annexed from Denmark, the
novella tells the story of Andeas Torner, a Swedish academic who finds himself
spending the summer holiday with his family at the manor house of an eccentric
gypsy. A conflict arises in which Torner must resort to despicable deeds to
renounce the gypsy. Strindberg, in parading his prejudices so nakedly, is simultaneously revealing many of the aspects of his age that would lead to tragic consequences in the century that followed.

The Irish Labour Party, 1922-73
The British Battle for Dublin 1919-21
William Sheehan
Niamh Puirseil
This new book details the official British history of the
Irish War of Independence on the streets of Dublin.
Biographies of the main British officers responsible for
fighting the campaign are provided and new information about the British officers killed on Bloody Sunday
in 1920 undermines traditional beliefs about them.
Also included are sections of detailed orders distributed
to British officers and guidelines for conducting military operations. Of interest is the technology used: aircraft, wireless radio, armored cars, and a listening set
in the cellars of Dublin Castle to detect IRA mining. The records also show
evidence of strong criticism of politicians. Familiar names and events
described include Kevin Barry’s arrest, Dan Breen’s injuries, burning the
Custom House, the searching of Michael Collins’ offices, the arrests of de
Valera and Erskine Childers, and Bloody Sunday at Croke Park.

The Making and Remaking of
the Good Friday Agreement
Paul Bew
Ireland’s War of Independence generated a wealth of
published material but little from a British perspective.
Yet many British servicemen left fascinating accounts of
their time in Ireland from 1918 to 1921. These eyewitness accounts are gathered here for the first time,
some from the British military archives have never been
published before.
This collection of essays from
Bew, Professor of Irish Politics
at Queens University Belfast,
discusses the many crises which
have paralyzed the power-sharing institutions in Northern
Ireland since 2002, details the
recent attempts to revive these
institutions under the hegemony of the DUP and Sinn Féin,
and looks toward the future of Northern Ireland in
the context of the March 2007 elections.

The Irish Red Setter:
William Sheehan
Cumann Na mBan and the Irish Revolution
Cal McCarthy
Cumann na mBan, a women’s support group to the Irish
Volunteers, was founded in 1914. Nationalist in outlook, its aims centered on arming Irish men, generating
propaganda, and presenting a united Irish opposition to
English rule. The Free State government’s awareness of
Cumann na mBan’s assistance to the IRA after the
1916 Rising resulted in large-scale imprisonment of
republican women during the Civil War. But, for a time
at least, Cumann na mBan had placed equality for
women on the political agenda and demonstrated
women could be as politically active and capable as men.

10 HISTORICAL SOCIOLOGY
AND
ARCHITECTURE
The Genesis of the Naval Profession
Castles of the Clans
Norbert Elias
Edited by René Moelker and Stephen Mennell
Martin Coventry
The emergence of the professional naval officer was
related both to the necessities of naval warfare and to
the structure of society on land. Elias traces the
onboard conflicts between gentleman soldiers skilled
in fighting, and ‘tarpaulins’—lower classes skilled in
navigation and the manual skills of sailing. The innovation of the midshipman—boys of gentle birth who
both learned the manual skills of the sailor and
received the education of a gentleman—gave crucial
advantage to the British Royal Navy over the French
and Spanish, in which the greater rigidity of social barriers ashore prevented a similar solution afloat.This book has been reconstructed from his
mainly unpublished typescripts.
Castles of the Clans is a major
new work on 800 clans and families of Scotland, and their castles, houses, seats, and lands.
The book includes strongholds
owned by the monarchs, bishops
and nobility, as well as the tower
houses and fortified houses of
smaller lairds and landowners.

Twenty-first century women have it all. We
can do what we want, when we want and

Side is a collection of life stories by women
in their 20s-70s. From novelists to DJs,

our desires, discontents, ambitions, and
commitments. Challenging stereotypes of
domestic goddesses, ‘oldies’; ‘singletons’,
hippies, footballers, DJs, and mistresses, Bit on the Side
reports and reflects on new identities with wit and verve. And
while not claiming to have ‘the answers’, the writing here offers
fresh views on the politics of sex and gender in Britain today.

Dial M for Merthyr
Writing Daughters
Rachel Trezise
August Strindberg’s Other Voices
Eszter Szalczer
Orange Futures winning Welsh novelist
Rachel Trezise grew up listening to the
rock behemoths of the late 1980s and harboring an ambition to write a warts ‘n’ all
rockumentary. At a rock gig in a Rhondda
pub, she discovered Misasuno; a gaggle of
Merthyr kids with a ton of conviction and a
penchant for neck breaking guitar riffs. In
2005 she stepped onto the tour bus they call
Black Betty and tracked the band as they
razed the British toilet circuit. Part reportage, social history, and
memoir, Dial M For Merthyr tells the story of a band from the
wrong side of the tracks trying to stay afloat in an ever changing musical and social climate.
In this book Eszter Szalczer looks at a previously neglected aspect of August Strindberg’s life and work: father / daughter
relationships. In Strindberg’s work, fatherand daughter-figures often appear intertwined, and the daughters are often seen to
be acting roles in their father’s narratives.
This study explores these roles in detail,
and offers parallel readings of the father’s
stories and those of the daughters in order
to create a dialogue between different perspectives. Such readings challenge the conventional authorial voice which singularly ‘fathers’ the text, and posits writing as a process that
extends beyond the limits of the individual literary work. Writing turns into an ongoing dialogue as long as daughters keep
being written, and daughters continue to write.

The Last of the Name
Charles McGlinchy
Charles McGlinchey (1861-1954), weaver
and tailor, lived his entire life on the
Inishowen Peninsula in Donegal. Never
married, he outlived his brothers and sisters, none of whom left an heir and so he
became ‘the last of the name’. On winter
evenings in the 1940s and ‘50s,
McGlinchey would talk about his life and
times on visits with the local schoolmaster,
who would carefully record his friend’s
words. Thirty years later, those poignant, handwritten stories
would be passed on to Brian Friel, who edited them into their
present form.
Here, filtered through a devoted schoolmaster and a master
dramatist, is a voice that transports us to a period now beyond
the grasp of living memory, an autobiography, a compendium
of folklore and a vivid account of the life and times of a particular community in the north-west of Ireland.

Jack’s World
Farming on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula
Sean Sheehan
This is a fascinating portrait of a neglected
poet and memoirist whose colorful and
complicated life brought her into contact
with some of the major literary figures of
early twentieth-century Ireland. Sheila
Wingfield (1906-1992), Anglo-Jewish heiress and ‘poetess
wife’ of the last Powerscourt to live on that estate, didn’t fit
easily into any of the worlds she inhabited, battling all her life
with the demons of alcohol, drugs, illness, and conflicted relationships. Penny Perrick’s biography strikes a balance between
playful storytelling and serious analysis. Drawing on rich
sources of letters, memoirs, diaries, and interviews.
This is the story of the life and times of
a West Cork farmer, Jack Sheehan who
lived all his 80 years on the same farm.
He recounts growing up and struggling
to survive in the 1920s and 1930s,
managing his farm through the 1950s
and adjusting to new forces in the
1970s. It illustrates how the traditional
farm has changed from a valued family inheritance to the commodity of consumerism and property speculators today. The
book draws on unique source materials, including Jack’s
diaries, and is illustrated with original color photographs.

Luke Kelly of the Dubliners. Ten years after Kelly’s tragic
death, fellow Dubliner, musician, and friend Des Geraghty
wrote a personal memoir of the singer-socialist, drawing on the
memoirs of Luke’s family, friends, other musicians, and political activists.

Last Leopard
Troubled Epic
A Life of Giuseppe di Lampedusa
David Gilmour
On Location with Ryan’s Daughter
Michael Tanner
Reprint of the 1988 book hailed as
an “elegant, sprightly biography,” by
Publishers Weekly.
David Gilmour’s biography of
Giuseppe di Lampedusa unearths the
life story of the creator of The Leopard, one of the great novels of the
twentieth century. A book whose
imagery, once tasted, haunts the
reader forever, The Leopard describes the golden era of
nineteenth-century Sicily: its sensual, fading, aristocratic glory and its corruption, brutality, and inequality lurking beneath the surface. Who wrote this masterpiece,
this work of art? The answer is as unlikely as one might
hope. A fascinating meditation on what it is that makes
a writer.

Goethe and Anna Amalia
A Forbidden Love?
Ettore Ghibellino
Translated by Dan Farrelly
In this study Ghibellino sets out to
show that the platonic relationship
between Goethe and Charlotte von
Stein—lady-in-waiting to Anna
Amalia, the Dowager Duchess of
Weimar—was used as part of a
cover-up for Goethe’s intense and
prolonged love relationship with the
Duchess Anna Amalia herself. The
book attempts to uncover a hitherto
closely guarded state secret and one of the very great
loves stories in European history—to rank with that of
Dante and Beatrice, and Petrarch and Laura.
Ettore Ghibellino has been a freelance author in
Weimar since 2001. The publication of his Goethe biography in 2003 caused a sensation in some circles and he
is Chairman and founder of the Anna Amalia and
Goethe Academy in Weimar.

An unvarnished account of the troubled
shooting, both on and off camera, of the
film Ryan’s Daughter, winner of two
Oscars. It tells how the movie’s stars—
Robert Mitchum, Sarah Miles, Trevor
Howard, Christopher Jones, and John
Mills—coped with a year on Ireland’s west
coast in 1969, as told through personal
accounts of local people who were drivers,
extras, prop men, landladies, actors or
mere observers. Also included is a gazetteer to the locations used
on the Dingle Peninsula and elsewhere in Kerry to enable fans to
follow in Rosy Ryan’s footsteps. Packed with pictures and archive
material, much never published before, this is the behind-the-scenes
story of a film which changed the Dingle Peninsula overnight, saw
more antics than usual by stars off and on set, and resulted in David
Lean making no film for 14 years, so fraught was the experience.

Vision and Vacancy
Musics of Belonging
The Fictions of J.S. Le Fanu
James Walton
The Poetry of Micheal O’Siadhail
Edited by Marc Caball & David F. Ford
A study of the withdrawal of authority in the fiction of J.S. Le Fanu, Vision and Vacancy follows the course of his attraction to the void, and
his resistance to it, from the beginning to the
end of his career. By placing his work within the
appropriate contexts of early apparition narrative and modern ghost story, English and Continental novel, Walton’s study provides not only
the most thorough account of the richness of his
techniques but shows how cosmopolitan influences were an inescapable condition of his (Anglo-) Irishness.
The first volume on renowned Irish
Poet Micheal O’Siadhail’s work
bringing together essays by Irish
and international commentators
and critics. O’Siadhail is one of Ireland’s leading poets. He has published 11 collections of poetry and
has won many prizes for his work.
He is widely respected both nationally and internationally. An extensive and inclusive volume containing 16 essays. Includes
a bibliography of O’Siadhail’s publications and reviews.

Poetry Out of my Heart and Head
Unpublished Letters of
Poet and Painter Isaac Rosenberg
Isaac Rosenberg
Edited by Jean Liddiard
Isaac Rosenberg has long been regarded as one of the most important poets
of the First World War. Living with his
Jewish immigrant family in the East
End of London, he left school at age
14 to earn his living as an apprentice
engraver. While visiting his sister in
South Africa in 1914, war was
declared. He returned home in 1915
and, unable to find work, he enlisted
as a private soldier. His poverty, education, and background made him an outsider, but also made him well
equipped to cope with the unforeseen horror of war in
the trenches: ‘I am determined that this war, with all its
powers for devastation, shall not master my poeting.’ He
served on the Western Front until his death on night
patrol in 1918.
“Conveys a Romantic literary tendency to admire the

Stones of Adoration
Whirlwind
Sacred Stones and Mystic Megaliths of Ireland
Christine Zucchelli
Brian Hughes
The landscape of Ireland is dotted with sacred
stones and stone monuments, from the Blarney Stone in Cork and Maedhbh’s Grave in
Sligo to St. Patrick’s Chair in Tyrone and the
Royal Pillars of Tara in Meath. This book
explores the ancient secrets, myths, legends,
and folktales associated with these stones,
and the role of sacred stones in the religious
and spiritual life of modern Ireland. This is a
wonderful reminder of Ireland’s spiritual past
as some of these stones and monuments enter their fifth millennium
and the wisdom of the Celtic tradition re-emerges.
Brian Hughes is from Athy, Co. Kildare, Ireland, and has established
himself as one of the finest tin whistle
players in the tradition, a fact confirmed by this album of vibrant whistle music. Brian’s earliest introduction to music was through his grandfather Christy Bracken, a noted bagpiper, who transmitted his love of traditional music to his grandson. As well
as tin whistle, Brian also has a great interest in the flute
and uilleann pipes. He has always been an avid collector
of tunes both old and new, many of which sit comfortably
alongside each other on this wonderfully varied album.

Anthony de Mello
Already Within
His Life and His Spirituality
Anand Nayak
Divining the Hidden Spring
Donal O’Leary
Fr. Anthony de Mello was an Indian
priest whose many spiritual publications were informed by his extensive
worldly studies. He organized prayer
retreats, was a gifted public speaker,
and established a prayer center in
India. However, after his death in
1987, Fr. De Mello’s books were
deemed “incompatible” with the
Catholic faith and were suppressed.
The ban was lifted but his books were still sold with a disclaimer, distancing him from the Church.
This book is a biography of Fr. De Mello and an exploration of his association with the Catholic Church. The
author examines the Notification and its approach to Fr.
de Mello’s work, pointing out clearly the weaknesses and
misunderstandings that underlie the conflict, and concludes with a look at the world-wide response, trying to
put Anthony de Mello once again in context as a teacher,
a prophet and a healer.

The Crystal Fountain
The Story of an Inner Journey
Noreen Mackey
When Noreen Mackey, a barrister
who had given up a successful career
to join an enclosed contemplative
community in the depths of the
French countryside, found herself
back in the world again after only
eighteen months, it seemed like the
end of everything. At forty-eight, she
was without a home, without a job,
without any apparent future. Yet less
than two years later, she was in the Cayman Islands, an
investigator for the Irish Government.
The Crystal Fountain is the story of the extraordinary
turnaround in one woman’s life through her faith in God
and her belief in prayer. It is a story that will give hope
and encouragement to anyone who has ever stood among
the ruins of their shattered hopes. It is the story of God’s
ways with us, ways that are not like our ways, but that
unfailingly lead to life, to freedom and to happiness.

Already Within contains the best writing of the
author—a summing up of the main thrust of his
books and articles from the past and present.
The emphasis that appeals to readers so much is
that of realizing the presence of God in the ordinary moments of their lives. Nothing goes to
waste—every effort, every happening, every daily
event, even mistakes and sins—all are part of the
bigger story; all are safely harvested.
The articles, arranged in months and themes, sometimes refer to
the seasons of the year, sometimes to the seasons of the liturgy, and
sometimes to the seasons of the heart. All the pieces begin with very
real life-situations and then the author explores and discovers the
compassionate presence of an incarnate and unconditionally-loving
God at the heart of all our experiences.

life as a clergyman, his marriage and parenthood.
This is a story about confusion, choices, consequences, and above all the story of a vocation to the priesthood that
transcends denominations, vows, presumptions, and prejudice.
Above all, it is a story of faith, hope and love.

Malachy Hanratty
A wonderful guide for all of us who

routine. He starts us off by helping us
to review the “Good Things” that God
has provided—people, experiences,
coincidences that have made today a
better day. As we become accustomed
to this way of praying, he helps us to
develop this to look at longer periods of time, and then
moves on to ways in which we can communicate our wants
and needs to God, as well as our thanksgiving. One of the
most enlightening aspects of the book is the way in which
the author teaches us to hear God talking to us.

Partnership in Lay Spirituality
Religious and Laity find New Ways
Maureen Dolan
The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) gave
great encouragement to religious to renew
themselves and their congregations, while also
challenging the laity by the universal call to holiness found in the council’s central document. At
first religious and laity sought to answer this call
in their own way, but soon there would be an
exciting new development as religious and laity
together found a new approach to fulfilling the
vision of the council: laity seeking a viable spirituality; religious trying to show their charism as relevant to the contemporary world.
This current phenomenon goes by various names, such as lay association, affiliation or lay associate membership of a religious institute; the reality is sharing in the charism, life and spirituality of religious institutes by lay people.

that are celebrated at Knock with much faith and

its function is not (as is sometimes supposed) to
shackle us, but to create ‘a space for belief’ within
which a Christian life can be lived.

Beasts of Nalunga
Glad of These Times
Jack Mapanje
Helen Dunmore
With new struggles ever more
evident in Africa today, Jack
Mapanje has returned to his
concern for ordinary people in
Africa and in the world at large,
themes that make his poetry
inspirational in Malawi and
throughout Africa. These new
poems are boldly lyrical narratives, cunningly crafted in mesmerizing spirals. His voice is still ironically cheerful,
his tone impotently angry—but confidently measured with wit and humor, however bleak.
Jack Mapanje was imprisoned without trial by the
dictator Hastings Banda for nearly four years, and
chronicled his experiences in his poetry. This new
collection addresses the soul struggling to liberate
itself, and fighting against the beasts of silences that
threaten the lives of Africans everyday.

traveled poems speak from different parts of the world and different moments of history, but
they always speak of the many
ways to be lost and disoriented:
in a place, in the past, in fear, in
love, in the very quickness of life. The voices speaking here—from a Roman housewife to a Chinese
bar-owner in Berlin or an Argentine DJ—are the
voices of the heart-sick, the culturally jet-lagged,
people from photographs, the “tenants” of lives,
cities and destinies. This is what we all are, have
been, or will be.

are acutely observed and enjoy a new depth of feeling. His language is
sensitive, exact, and alert to the layered and luminous surfaces as well as
the discontinuities of modern life.

20 POETRY / POETRY CRITICISM
The Barking Thing
Making Poems and Their Meanings
Suzanne Batty
Desmond Graham
Suzanne Batty writes bold, flamboyant, risky
poems that come from left field and Manchester,
mixing dogs and people, mean streets and
threats from inside. In this first book-length collection, the real and unreal are deliberately confused. The book creates a fantastical landscape
in which actual experience can be transformed
through archetypes and fairytales, urban myths
and nightmares. The poems chart a journey
from mental anguish to spiritual joy - and back
again. The writing balances on a sharp edge between sanity and
madness, between meaning and insignificance, with a dark humor
and a tight grip on life. Through it all there is the wisdom of dog
— a spiritual mentor who cocks a leg at doubt and despair.
In this innovative new series of
public lectures at the University of
Newcastle upon Tyne in Northeast
England, leading contemporary
poets speak about the craft and
practice of poetry to audiences
drawn from both the city and the
university. The lectures are then
published in book form by Bloodaxe, giving readers everywhere the
opportunity to learn what these British poets think
about their own subject.

James Berry
These poems give voice to Britain’s Caribbean
emigre’s, whose journeys held strange echoes of
earlier sea voyages which had brought ancestors
from Africa to the slave plantations.
James Berry, who was born in Jamaica, was one
of these emigrants, settling in Britain in 1948.
His new book explores the different reasons his
fellow travelers had for leaving the Caribbean
when they rushed to get on the boat. The poems
also look back on slavery and individual experiences of hardship and trying to make a living.

Desmond Graham reflects in three lectures on how
poems are nourished and how reading can grow.

Carol Rumens
Carol Rumens offers three lectures covering the poetry of Philip
Larkin and Derek Mahon and
examines form and music in the
work of a range of contemporary
women poets.
Of Carol Rumens poetry:

British poet is full of goofy rhymes and larky

Collected Poems
I Am Twenty People!
Anthony Thwaite
Third Anthology from the Poetry School
Edited by Mimi Khalvati & Stephen Knight
Anthony Thwaite’s Collected Poems, published
in his seventy-seventh year, gives readers an
opportunity to see gathered together all the
poems he wants to preserve from the sixteen collections he has published since his debut in
1953. He has developed a distinctive style and a
range of concerns which have defined his poetry
from the beginning: memory, history, archaeology, travel, the intricacies of relationships, and
now the frustrations of age.

False Spring
Sharon Morris
The poems in Sharon Morris’s first collection
are both meditations on mortality and nature,
and sharp edged celebrations of life – in turn
tender, incantatory, dramatic, quotidian, and elegiac. The three sections describe three different
places, metaphorically and geographically: in
‘False Spring’ the poet takes us out into the
open spaces, the wildernesses at the edge of the
city of San Francisco, touching on the myth of
Persephone. This mythic thread is carried on
through ‘Rome,’ where the city’s overlaid histories parallel the tension between what is revealed and what is hidden, while the final
section ‘Salt of Almonds,’ speaks, through the image of the Spanish desert, of what will persist and endure.

Flowers of Sulphur
Mario Petrucci
Mario Petrucci is an ecologist, physicist, and
war poet. He is also the only poet to have been
in residence at the Imperial War Museum. A
selection of these poems won the Daily Telegraph / Arvon International Poetry Competition
2002, and two won Merit Awards in the Nottingham Open Poetry Competition in the same
year. His new collection of poems explores the
gamut of human experience. These poems ring
with complexity and clarity: like our quantum
world, this award-winning collection reinvents itself moment to
moment so as to unsettle, move, and inspire us.

The third of an ongoing series of
anthologies, I Am Twenty People! celebrates The Poetry School’s tenth
anniversary. Adventurous, unorthodox, playfully serious and seriously
playful, these new poets explore their
different worlds with confidence and
panache. Nothing, it seems, is off limits, neither political engagement nor
experimental audacity. From the intimate lyric to the historical narrative, the poetry gathered
in I Am Twenty People! is more than simply a promise of
future achievement. Offering, from each of its twenty
poets, selections from a mature body of work that will
surely lead to outstanding first collections, here is an
anthology that stands in its own right as a hallmark of
the best of new writing in Britain today.
Mimi Khalvati was born in Iran and grew up on the Isle
of Wight. In 2006 she received a Cholmondeley Award
and a new collection, The Meanest Flower, is forthcoming in 2007. Stephen Knight’s awards include first prize
in the 1992 National Poetry Competition. He is a creative-writing tutor for adults in colleges and part of the
University of Glamorgan’s MPhil in Writing.

How to Make a Woman Out of Water
Charles Bennett
The title poem of Charles Bennett’s
new collection, his first since the highly-acclaimed Wintergreen, is full of
sensual magic and supple music. It is
charged with power and grace, yet
lightened by a wry sense of humor. It is
lithe and strongly flowing as water
itself, and gives a pure pulse of clarity
and drive that runs like an undercurrent through the whole collection.
Beguilingly simple and approachable, these poems speak
with the fluid voice of water. Vivid explorations of water’s
depth, linked to the dark release of deep sleep, culminate
in the collection’s central sequence: when one of a pair of
lovers falls asleep on a beach, the other muses on the
seascape, on lives that flourish on the littoral and the
nature of love itself.

In the poems of Lyndon Davies’s new collection Hyphasis, myths, histories, voices, and

render up new substances, new ways of
dreaming about the world.

Things You Think I Don’t Know
Deborah Kay Davies
Davies’ poetry presents a fabulous mix of
the strange and the familiar: a weird hole
opens in front of Marks & Spencer; a
heron lays a giant egg on your bed; a routine cytology test reveals the utterly unexpected. It is bizarre and fantastic, horrible
and hilarious.

A Winged Head
Graham Hartill
From the 17th-century Ranters via the mythic topography of his local Black Mountains to
the conflicts of today, Hartill’s work involves
an anarchic lyrical imagination. At times
delirious, at times compassionate and considered, A Winged Head flies in the face of
power’s hypnotic symbolism.

Poems for my Wife & Other Women
Thomas Krampf
In this book, the poet seeks to delineate his relationship to his
wife and other women. Not all the poems have a dedication, so it
is up to the reader to decide. There are poems, such as the “Elasticity of Time,” which while exploring the moment of conception,
tend to view the woman more in a traditional idealistic role as a
muse. Perhaps due to his own ancestry, the poet’s fascination
with Oriental women, bordering on an obsession, is obvious. And
throughout the book there are moments where the poet shares
his grief with a neighbor’s daughter, or humorously lends his ear
to the time-honored wisdom of a housekeeper. The poet seems
deeply inclined to celebrate and honor a successful relation
between the sexes, both within the family and out, as one of
friendship.

Suntrap
Catherine Phil MacCarthy
The suntrap in the title poem of Catherine
Phil MacCarthy’s long-awaited third collection
is a magnifying glass through which a young
girl is shown for the first time ‘how to burn’.
Pervaded with the light of things caught and
held, MacCarthy’s finely crafted poems are
perceptive and assured, moving deftly from the
Aran Islands in Ireland’s Galway Bay to Africa,
from childhood to womanhood, and from innocence to experience.

We Lost Our Baby is the true story of a young
couple who, after the initial excitement of discovering a new pregnancy, faced the heartache of
losing their baby. On top of the trauma of a miscarriage, they also had to deal with insensitive
and sometimes rude doctors and nurses, outdated hospital policies, and a shocking lack of
empathy and understanding during the worst
times of this tragedy. Angry and confused, they
went looking for answers. They found none.
What followed was an awkward few months where they could not
grieve together and their relationship was severely strained. This
beautifully written, poignant story, created with the hope of helping
other couples facing similar difficulties, deals with an issue that is
too rarely acknowledged or openly discussed, with complete and
heart-rending honesty.

Four Fathers
Ray French
When four writers took to the road on a reading
tour to talk about their relationship with their
fathers, they were unprepared for the level of
emotional engagement that poured from the audience. Telling stories about fathers unlocked a
deep seam of hidden feelings and forgotten memories, proving that there is perhaps no man with
more significance in our life than our own father.
Here, four sons reveal the complex bonds that
exist between themselves and their very different fathers while considering their own roles as fathers and father figures. These tender
and heart warming tales mix fact with fiction and provide a perfect
backdrop to reflect on this most important relationship.

SOME REVIEWS
OF
RECENT TITLES 27
Mark II
Behind You!
Chris Farnell
Linda Regan
“Losing a best friend at thirteen is almost too
much for Phil to endure, and dealing with the
physically improved clone of Mark makes it bet ter and worse at the same time.... As an ethical
exploration of cloning and a philosophical examination of what gives a human his or her identity, the book succeeds admirably.… A powerful
novel about love, loss, and the intractability of human longing
for what is known and familiar.”—Bulletin of the Center for
Children’s Books
“Regan’s novel is a slightly odd mix—a brutal
murder mystery with touches of British cozy.…
There are plenty of suspects-indeed, everyone
involved in the performance seems to have at
least one guilty secret and a possible motive for
murder.… Offbeat characters and forceful
prose.”—Booklist

Field Knowledge
Hunted Down
“The first winner of the Anthony Hecht Poetry
Prize contains formal poetry of uncommon grace
and profundity that touches betimes upon the
infusion of the sacred into the profane, modernity’s willful alienation from the sacred, and the
delights of verbal wit.… Throughout, there is a
use of the European poetic tradition that is as
gratifying and profound as it is assured. This man’s good”—
Booklist, Starred review, Editors’ Choice 2006
The Detective Stories of Charles Dickens
“One might not necessarily think of Dickens as a
mystery writer, but detectives and criminals do
figure into much of his work. This...gathers a
dozen of his stories featuring cops of one kind or
another.”—Library Journal
223 pages, (Peter Owen) ISBN 978-0-7206-1265-3

Baby Love
Maureen Carter
“Bev Morriss’…life is in a bit of disarray....
When, due to her own outspoken nature, she is
taken off a high-profile rape case and reassigned
to a seemingly pointless baby kidnapping, Bev’s
mood plummets even lower. Soon she is fighting
not just to save a missing child but also to salvage
her own career. Carter writes like a longtime
veteran, with snappy patter and stark narrative, and her series
should appeal.”—Booklist

Judaism: An Introduction to the Beliefs
and Practices of the Jews
Alina
Michael Maher
Jason Johnson
“The bequest of a pornographic Web site enables
Henry Sender to give up his job…. Unfortunately, it also sends the fragile sad sack down a rabbit hole of endless depravities.…Henry comes to
discover the Web site he thought of as harmless
has exposed the desperate young women who
staff it to a human plague that may destroy his
soul as well. Johnson leavens early scenes of savagery with a
savage wit but then delivers a climax as harrowing as one
might hope to find in contemporary crime fiction.”—Booklist
“Maher’s laudatory objective is to present to his
fellow Christians a primer on Judaism. He is well
qualified for the task…. Maher offers an outline
of Jewish beliefs and rituals, opening with a historical overview.... The contemporary Jewish
community with its many branches is then discussed, followed by a review of Jewish sacred
texts... Throughout, Maher displays a depth of knowledge and
a sympathetic regard for Jewish faith and traditions, fully
achieving his objective of introducing his readers to
Judaism.”—Publishers Weekly

Take Me With You
Donegal Suite
Polly Clark
John P. McNamee
“Escape—from unhappy love relationships, bad
situations and the claustrophobia of one’s own
identity—is the central theme of this darkly
humorous second book by a young British poet.
In most of these 38 poems, whimsical, fantastic
and at times adorable metaphors establish a wide
field of vision.”—Publishers Weekly

Autumn Beguiles the Fatalist
Michael Foley
“Irishman Foley is a wonder. One of the most
linguistically inventive poets of his country, he is
still entirely approachable…. With a long line
and a breakneck pace, Foley presents the speedy
modern world in all its ambivalent glory....
Although not widely known in America, Foley
deserves to be.”—Booklist

Big Men Speaking to Little Men
Philip Fried
“Superimposes the imaginary on the actual, the
sacred on the profane, and the comic on the
tragic in 54 shapely poems that follow these trav eling selves…. Fried, who is the founding editor
of The Manhattan Review, attempts to transform “the world’s infantile, satisfied babble” into
something legible.… There is no parsing the real
from the surreal in these poems.”—Publishers Weekly.com

The Names of Things
New & Selected Poems
Jeffrey Harrison
“Harrison has always been gifted at communicating the significance of his experiences and observations, both ordinary and special. In this he
recalls Robert Frost, and like Frost’s, his poems
expand in meaning as they are read, reread, and
closely considered.... His language is chaste and
precise, he is formally modest, and he is as natural a poet as any writing in America today.”—Booklist

“It is McNamee’s awareness of his own shortcomings—or, to use the traditional term, sinfulness-that makes these poems so humane….
These poems teach us to see people as we ought
to, but seldom manage to.” —Philadelphia
Inquirer
“This appreciation of natural, or human, beauty is
very Irish. So is the ear for language.”—America
“McNamee is a keen, humane observer of the human condition.”—Irish Edition

The Fifth Figure
Jean Breeze
“The five monologues of this poetic family saga
are theatrically lively. The first...is that of an
Englishwoman come to Jamaica just before
emancipation there in 1838; the others...are spoken by her mixed-race daughter, granddaughter,
great-granddaughter, and great-great-greatgranddaughter. Each speaker...is young and/or
not married to the father when her successor is born, and each
contends with male violence, often from her less-intelligent and
less-capable mate. Sex ravages as it ravishes each successive
generation. A dazzling and somber tour-de-force.”—Booklist
(1-85224-732-0) Paper $24.95
Misappropriations
Jasmine Donahaye
“Attests to a very full, if not all that long, life.
The first four poems…are about promises broken, or not fulfilled as wished, within large, com plex contexts. They are rivetingly dramatic, full
of vivid scene painting and weighty, fully visualized walk-on characters…. A similar, exceptional vividness of physical detail suffuses
the...poems of everyday student-scholarly life… and the poems
of womanly carnality. Donahaye writes only in packed yet eco nomical free verse, as if in her…Hemingway…had melded
with…Sharon Olds.”—Booklist

Gabriel Rosenstock

Tugs in the Fog
Complete Poetical Works and
Selected Prose of George Bacovia
Joan Margarit
George Bacovia
“The melancholy Catalan poet may seem
surprisingly familiar. Many of his poems
evoke the smoky, sinister beauty
of...late-night
jazz
clubs.
They
insist…on a brutally honest sexuality….
This noirish mood continues in homages
to Raymond Chandler, Oscar Wilde,…
wet streets, dark alleyways and the like. And it deepens even further in selections from Joana, a series of
elegies following the death of his beloved daughter.
Death, grief, loneliness - not a happy poet, this Margarit, but an accomplished singer of songs in a decid edly minor key.”—Booklist

This Life, This Life
New & Selected Poems, 1970-2006
Andrew Greig
“Greig is considered one of Scotland’s
finest writers, whose poetry is of the
most evocative kind. He addresses the
big issues (life, love, and death) and also
such topics as mountain climbing and
historic events…. He also has a fine way
with the smaller moments in life.... He
can be moody and remarkably precise...and can
tellingly touch on Scottish identity in the twenty-first
century and such stubborn national traits as a propensity to drink. This large, lovely collection gives Ameri cans a welcome chance to meet one of Scotland’s best
poets.”—Booklist

Brendan Kennelly
“In a sequence of three-line poems, he moves ‘now’
beyond merely ‘not then’ to reveal ways that we center
ourselves in place, in story, in blood, in laughter, in sex.
He creates a form for this exploration, a kind of strange
Irish haiku, three lines of varying lengths and meters
that, as in any classical haiku, end with a slight surprise.… Like Joyce, Kennelly lets his words flow in riverine fashion, both forward and swirlingly around-and-about at the same
time. Meanwhile, a graciousness and generosity about human nature
contributes greatly to the work’s charm. Kennelly writes with a deep
and abiding love for his fellow humans.”—Booklist

East of Eden: New Romanian Plays
Andrei Marinescu, Editor
“The work of four young Romanian writers was translated into English by Marinescu and then adapted by three
young Irish playwrights. The Romanian theater, like
Romanian society itself, is in a period of transition after
years of censorship and government control. [These] are
postmodern texts offering individual artistic visions of
Romanian reality. Recommended.”—Library Journal
