  Katherine Tynan was born on January 23rd 1859 into a large farming family in Clondalkin, County Dublin, and educated at a convent school in Drogheda.  In her early years she suffered from eye ulcers, which left her somewhat myopic.   
   
  She first began to have her poems published in 1878.  A great friend to Gerard Manley Hopkins and to WB Yeats (who it is rumoured proposed marriage but was rejected). With Yeats to encourage her, her poetry blossomed and she was equally supportive of his.  She married fellow writer and barrister Henry Albert Hinkson in 1898.  They moved to England where she bore and began to raise 5 children although two were to tragically die in infancy.  In 1912 they returned to Claremorris, County Mayo when her husband was appointed magistrate there from 1912 until 1919.  Sadly her husband died that year but Katherine continued to write.    
   
  Her output was prolific, some sources have her as the author of almost a 100 novels.  Here we concentrate on her poetry. Amongst the classics such as ‘The Wind That Shakes the Barley’ are numerous war poems.  She is now sometimes grouped amongst the War Poets of the First World War. Her experience was not direct but as a Mother with one son serving in France and another in Palestine, the emotions, fears and doubts are expressed in a beautiful heart-felt way.  
   
  Katharine died on April 2nd 1931 and she is buried at Kensal Green Cemetery in London.

  In the Antarctic Circle

  This collection addresses issues of identity as two people find themselves living in an uncommon landscape. Through hybrid narrative prose poems, Hank and an unnamed narrator try to navigate their relationship and understand their identities amid a landscape that offers them almost nothing. The continent at first seems empty, but something emerges in the vacuum of Antarctica. The narrator’s gender skips and changes, and the characters’ self-awareness grows into a sort of horror. Dennis James Sweeney’s poems consider the fullness of emptiness, revealing attempts to love and grow when surrounded by a white and frigid landscape that seems to go on forever.The space of these poems is something beyond the Antarctic of scientific exploration, the icy outpost that has served for so long as a masculine proving ground for polar explorers. This is the Antarctica of domestic disharmony, of love amid loneliness, where two people encounter themselves in the changeless breadth at the end of the world.In the Antarctic Circle is the winner of the Autumn House Press 2020 Rising Writer Prize in Poetry.
