Michael Longley - A Hundred Doors

Irish Poetry | New Title
Michael Longley - A Hundred Doors

ISBN 978-1-930630-56-7    $12.95   paperback with flaps

This is a work of power, precision and delicacy: poems that "bend and magnify the daylight," poems by a master craftsman.

 Boston Globe: One of the best poetry books of the year, 2011

"...[A] work of celebration and benediction, but it's also a work of observation, of careful, loving and imaginative attention to detail...." Washington Post

"A Hundred Doors offers more portals behind which await the ‘soul-arenas’ of Longley’s fertile imagination; another milestone on the journey, an addendum to everything fine that he has given before, and the hope that more will come.” The Scotsman

Irish Poetry | New Title
Thomas Kinsella - Selected Poems

A deep selection of poems by one of Ireland's most esteemed poets. 

"Thomas Kinsella is a Titan among Irish writers, in more senses than one. ... With unique memorability and force these poems, in the words of 'Belief and Unbelief,' coax us to follow their author in search of understanding 'back to the dark / and the depth that i cam from.' No one who cares about poetry should hesitate to embark on the journey." The Guardian
