Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Irish poet Catherine Phil MacCarthy's fourth collection of poems, The Invisible Threshold explores from several angles the idea of 'threshold' or the 'liminal', the state of being in transition from one moment to the next. These poems celebrate life with a deep sense of wonder. They capture t…ransformational moments of experience where mortality and loss, as well as the ties between the body and spirit, are explored. Reconciliation with a mother's death brings 'a sense of first breath on the earth' ('Facing the Rising Sun') and acknowledges that grief delivers a new freedom, where intense life is 'open to pure being' ('Turning South') and the abundant energies of summer. Catherine Phil MacCarthy was born in Co. Limerick, in 1954 and educated at University College Cork, Trinity College Dublin, and Central School of Speech and Drama, London. Her collections of poetry include This Hour of the Tide (1994), the blue globe (1998) and Suntrap (2007). She has also published a novel, One Room an Everywhere (2003). She won the Fish International Poetry Prize in 2010, and is a former editor of Poetry Ireland Review.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Following his widely acclaimed prose memoir The Invisible Prison (2009), and his New and Selected Poems (2005, reissued 2007), popular Irish poet Pat Boran's first full-length collection of poems in over a decade sees him explore questions of love, belonging and connection in poems that, more… than ever, are influenced by song, recognising that small and great challenges alike may be entry points to new beginnings, and that the instinct to sing and praise has seldom been more relevant or crucial. Despite appearing to echo the promise of religious belief, The Next Life of the title is entirely to be found in the here-and-now and the near-to-hand, in the play of sparrows on a lawn, in the mortality-exploring games of his two small children ('Let's Die'), and, against the noise and distractions of the world, in the trust and faith of lovers 'whispering together / words never uttered before'.
