Summary

Gertrude Stein was an American novelist and poet.  Stein moved to France at the beginning of the 20th century and became a notable art collector.  Stein is now perhaps best known for her contributions to lesbian literature, particularly The Autobiography of Alice Toklas, which was written in the voice of her life partner.

Tender Buttons is a book of poetry consisting of three sections: Objects, Food, and Rooms.  Some scholars believe that this book contains some of the details of Stein's relationship with Toklas.

    John Millington Synge's classic work set in Mayo. A mysterious traveller, Christy Mahon, arrives in the village believing he has killed his father. He is looked upon as a hero by the locals and falls in love with one of them, Pegeen Mike, who agrees to marry him. But when Christy's 'murdered' father appears on the scene, Christy's fortune takes a downturn with comic and tragic result.

The Playboy of the Western World is, undoubtedly, Synge's masterpiece. It was produced at the Abbey Theatre in 1907 and provoked an immediate riot and continuing controversy. This edition of the play is introduced by renowned Kerry actor Éamonn Keane whose interpretation of the role of Christy Mahon ranks him with the greatest actors to have played this part.

    Written during the profound global upheaval between 2019 and 2023, In Water Not Blood braids ancient traditions of nature-based spirituality, dreaming, song and prayer with the realities and anxieties of modern life. These poems are as much soft and spiritual as they are rage-filled and disillusioned.  A powerful account of the author's journey to reclaim her connection to her ancestors and to the Earth. In Water Not Blood is a celebration of the healing power of nature and art and is an urgent cry for collective transformation.

    One Visit - A gritty North Wales...

    In sleepy, rural North Wales, Frankie Gibbs, a recently laid off, aimless twenty-year-old on Universal Credit, wants nothing more than to keep his younger brother out of the care system. He single-handedly takes this upon himself while their alcoholic, cocaine-addict, single-parent father, Guy Gibbs, heaps misery on their lives through systematic abuse and his never-ending wild parties. After Guy is sent to prison, Frankie is coerced into opening his home to Justin, an acquaintance from his school days now turned drug dealer, while his own addiction and self-worth spiral beyond recognition. 
''One visit is an astonishing debut. It's raw, shocking, disturbing, insightful and dark, pretty much from start to finish. There are flashes of wit but, in the main, it's a full-frontal assault with the truth of physical, psychological, social and political deterioration in a beautiful part of Wales.''

    A collection of poetry from the 2019 winner of the National Poetry Series, selected by Rosanna Warren  
In her remarkable and assured debut, Alexandria Hall explores the boundaries and limits of language, place, and the self, as well as the complicated space between safety and danger, intimacy and isolation, playfulness and seriousness, home and away. With a keen eye for the importance of place, Hall shows us daily life in rural Vermont, illuminating the beauty and difficulty inherent in the dichotomies of human language and experience. 
Incisive and tender, Field Music is a thoughtful and alert collection from a major emerging voice.
