Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Liffey Swim is the debut collection from Dubliner Jessica Traynor, whose family portraits combine with myth and history to create a strikingly assured and engaging suite of poems. Delivered in a language that is at once fresh and confident, these poems herald Traynor as a powerful new talent in Irish writing.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The protagonist, Father Llatzer, a priest banished for doctrinal heresy to an isolated, backward mountain parish, struggles to achieve personal redemption by bringing salvation to his primitive, taciturn, rural flock. Their mute atavism is disturbed only by the local whore, Footloose, embodying all the forces against which the priest's reforming mission is directed. Ambiguity surrounds the denouement of that conflict. Dark Vales is as as compelling today as when it was first written.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Borrowed Space celebrates twenty-one years of Irish poet Enda Wyley's poems.

Kehoe's lucid, light-handed lyrics brilliantly illuminate a time and a place, like a full moon over the "beehive ways of the city." His is already a distinctive voice in Irish poetry.
