Synopsis

In "Poets and Dreamers: Studies and Translations from the Irish," Lady Gregory presents a rich tapestry of Irish literature and folklore, showcasing her deep engagement with the cultural and linguistic heritage of Ireland. This collection weaves together her insightful analyses and poetic translations of ancient Irish texts, illuminating the spiritual and mythical dimensions of Irish identity. The literary style embodies both lyrical beauty and scholarly rigor, enhancing the reader's understanding of Ireland's literary traditions during the early 20th century, a period marked by a resurgence of interest in Celtic culture and literature amid the broader Gaelic revival. Lady Gregory (1852-1932) was a pivotal figure in the Irish literary renaissance, co-founder of the Abbey Theatre, and an ardent advocate for Irish cultural identity. Her extensive engagement with folklore and mythology, stemming from her own Irish heritage, significantly influenced her work. Gregory's passion for preserving and reviving Irish stories and heritage prompted her to delve into the versatility of Irish poetic expression, as she meticulously translated and studied the works that shaped her literary landscape. "Poets and Dreamers" is an essential read for anyone interested in Irish culture, literature, and the evolution of national identity. Gregory's evocative translations and insightful studies not only celebrate the richness of Irish poetic tradition but also invite readers to explore the profound connections between dreams, history, and poetry in Ireland. This book is a remarkable contribution that deserves a place on the shelf of every literary enthusiast.

    This is a thriller which traces the history of the Stevens family from 1916 to 2020, covering four generations. What is so unusual about this family is that they are all special intelligence operatives and serve in an ultra-secret unit answering to senior military officers appointed directly by the King. In each generation, the eldest son is selected to carry on the tradition when he reaches the age of 21 years.The operatives are highly-trained as intelligence agents, and their role is to act as judge, jury and executioner of the targets selected. The targets are men and women who have been engaged in treasonous activities or conducting espionage for a foreign power, but the agent has been given the discretion to satisfy himself that the charges are justified before he executes the offender.

    Inspired by the positive reaction to our earlier bilingual Welsh/English poetry anthology about a Welsh road, A470 Poems for the Road/Cerddi'r Ffordd; we expanded our scope to Welsh rivers - any of them. with over 600 to choose from this proved a rich seam of invention for our Welsh poets, and a wide geographical range within Wales too. Our poets range from novices to luminaries of the Welsh Poetry scene. The outcome - 50 poems in their original language, whether that was English or Welsh, next to a translation, celebrating everything about Welsh rivers, from source to estuary, fresh and clean or culverted and polluted, childhood memory to recent flooding.
