Gold Set Dancing by JAMES LIDDY
James Liddy's writing defies labelling. It combines American and
Irish-American contexts; possessing states of history, and states of love,
which are not often represented in contemporary poetry. Liddy's poems speak
with an intimate voice, and a cajoling sense of intrigue. Gold Set Dancing
is divided into three sections: the first contains poems with Irish themes;
the last largely features the American Midwest and the city of Milwaukee,
his adopted home. The middle section consists of prose poems celebrating the
lives of the poet's grandparents.

Little River by LINDA McCARRISTON
Little River, her first book to be published outside the U.S., expands on
Linda McCarriston's previous lyrical and personal narrative work, dealing
with issues which have engaged her for many years. She speaks with sure
conviction and with empathy on the difficult issues of family life and
gender power structures. Her first two books were both award-winners, the
second a finalist for America's prestigious National Book Award.

Touchwood by AINE MILLER
"An impeccable sense of where poetry is..." That is the strength which won
Aine Miller the Patrick Kavanagh Award and which keeps her at the task of
recognising when experience will self-combust into poetry, and when it will
not... or needs to be coaxed into doing so. Here is poetry as preservation,
as exploration, as subversion and as celebration.

Curse of The Birds by NOEL MONAHAN
Curse of The Birds evokes a world of myth and dark energies. The flight of
the soul in each of the four sections is unsettling. Ghosts abound in a
bleak fragmented landscape. Curse of The Birds is a quarrel from within,
wrestling with loneliness and uncertainty. It is elegiac, mischievously
humorous and satirical. Noel Monahan speaks with compassion about and for
the voiceless people whose ghosts haunt him.

Iced Water by JOHN UNRAU
First collection of poetry from Canadian John Unrau. Empathy with the lives
of refugee ancestors on the Canadian prairies inspires many of these poems.
Others dealing with historical figures and various contemporary annoyances
are enlivened by a quirky offbeat sense of humour.

Sandgames by MICHELE VASSAL
This book, Michele Vassal's first collection of poetry, was the winner of
the 1999 Listowel Writers' Week Poetry Prize, Co. Kerry, Ireland. Sandgames
explores the duality of exile through the fading negatives of memory,
exposing them to a light of sexual and religious metaphor. With an artist's
sense of contrast and perspective, Vassal chronicles a sensual and cruel
reality where displacement and belonging coalesce into an intricate but
singular vision.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Crosses by EAMONN WALL
The Crosses is a striking metaphor which embraces many of the themes that
Eamonn Wall explores in his third collection. He takes stock of what we lose
and gain as we negotiate paths through an unstable world. This is a work of
mature affirmation which celebrates the deep bonds which bind us to land,
water, and the streets of the present and past. With verve and wit, Wall
deftly crosses and re-draws the boundaries of the contemporary Irish and
American worlds.
