This is the third collection from New York City poet and two-time Pushcart nominee, Patricia Brody.

Like the burgeoning sounds of morning from which Dawn Chorus takes its name, these poems emerge from the darkness of urban isolation into brilliant wilderness. More than half of the world's humans now live in cities, waking to the rhythm of artificial light, lulled by the hum of machines. We sense that some important part of us has atrophied but cannot name it. Dawn Chorus is a warning and a celebration. Pettway's lines remind us how deeply we...

Balancing curiosity, beauty, surprise, and the weight of mortality, this book's kinship embraces multitudes: fir, owl, manatee, and pollen, sun, sea, lily, and snake, the poet's parents, Paul and Grace Whitman, the Good Gray Poet Whitman. Each poem bears witness to concentricity--the poet inviting trees to live inside her, a tree expanding itself to accept her body. Some of the poet's kindred--the Biblical Eve, water's sister, a lake, the moon...

Mary Buchinger possesses native fluency in the language of velocities. In Navigating the Reach, the speaker touches her way, poem after spare poem, along a swift corridor of exits and disappearances. In this, her fourth full-length collection, Buchinger's nimble poems examine the transition of the staid to the seldom, and finally, the never. Her poems fly at an altitude of lonely compassion, from which she captures the gleaming urgencies far b...

These poems are strong and full of carefully controlled feeling. They are tender and precise evocations of the moral and sensory life of man." - Annie Dillard, Pulitzer Prize winner"Morgan demonstrates that he understands the complexity and the enormous possibilities of the free-verse line. These poems are exposed, rich with affirmation, and always genuine." - Bruce Weigl in Choice"Morgan writes of the natural beauties of his earth, Alaska. Th...

The rich narrative poems in My Aunts at Twilight Poker provide nuanced and many-sided explorations of Irish and Diasporic life--with particular focus on Eamonn Wall's hometown of Enniscorthy, Co.

A focal point of the collection is Annie Murphy-Flood, the author's grandmother, who arrived in Enniscorthy as a newly ma...

This is the second poetry collection from Galway-based poet, artist and arts-curator. Her first collection, About Love, was published by Salmon in 2017.

Ago is a richly detailed and elegantly crafted exploration of mutability fine tuned to the times and places where the men and women brought to life here have loved and lived. The luminous, wise, and moving poems--in form and language recalling Dickinson, Hopkins, Kinsella, among others--transport us to the heart of deep time and experience across the Midwest, New England, and Ireland." - Eamonn Wall, author of Junction City (2015)"Ago pays hom...

Eamonn Lynskey's fourth collection of poems is masterly in its interrogation of the wide spectrum of ordinary - and not so ordinary - experiences and how poetry might address them. From the domestic to the international, the familiar and lyrical to the distressing and tragic, Lynskey uses a deft and well-practiced pen to illuminate the realities of our allegedly-modern world, while never losing sight of the intention always to create a poem. I...

Crossing borders of meaning, territory and flesh itself, Fióna Bolger's new poems explore the limits and possibilities of language. Survival can depend on nuance, insider slang, an accurate translation, or knowing when to stay silent. Fired by a passion for justice and her awareness of how rarely justice is served, Bolger gives voice to the migrant and the exile, who retain their dignity and the markers of their culture. Shot through with colo...

In these poems the personal and global darknesses are always lit by Kevin Higgins's singular wit. There is lyricism, and acute vulnerability, here. But if you want reassuring, middle class epiphanies then you should immediately put this poetry collection down and run screaming from the bookshop. There is a hard-fought for subversive hope in several of these poems. And where that hope fails there is a maniacal laughter which is sometimes the on...

Jamais Vu is a hall of mirrors. In these marvelous and haunted new poems, Perry observes a life that may be his or may be ours. Nothing and everything matters. Yet all is exactly as it should be, glimpsed and unanswerable. A startling, disorientating, and tender book of poems.

This is the sixth poetry collection from senior poet, anthologist and literary figure Seamus Cashman, founder of Wolfhound Press.

Raine Geoghegan's poetry is like stepping inside another world. Gently, she guides you through her culture with word vision and much beauty. She transports your imagination as flower-buds seek precious light." - Jess Smith, Scottish Traveller Writer, Storyteller and Author."The poems in Raine Geoghegan's The Talking Stick: O Pookering Kosh are mainly based around family history and steeped in Romani culture and language. It feels like a privil...

Mark Ward's long-awaited first collection Nightlight is a journey through a city and a reaching towards whatever light can be found, be that in a sex club, with a board game, a new friendship or a changing relationship. Throughout this journey, Ward feels his way back to touchstones of queer history as well as trying to make himself at home in his surroundings and his increasingly rebellious brain. These poems, deeply attuned to craft and form...

Erosions is John A. Griffin's first full-length book of poems. Written shortly after he emigrated to the United States, the poems comprise a kind of Bildungsroman exploring themes of boyhood innocence, fantasy, landscapes, nature, death, loss, absence, exile, and a coming into one's powers as one seeks to apprehend the changes wrought by time, epiphany, and departure. Absence, lines, natural forces, spirituality, and extinction are all leitmot...
