Summary

The tale of Mary Hope MacLaren is a story of hope. It is the story of a young woman's hopes and dreams shattered as her new husband turns violent. It is the story of hope enduring over the years, but of hope renewed at his untimely death. Most of all, it is the tale of a womans fight back to who she had been before and of her renewed hope for the life she once wanted, dreamed of having.

    ‘All of Nichol’s work is stamped by his desire to create texts that are engaging in themselves as well as in context, and to use indirect structural and textual devices to carry meaning. In The Martyrology different ways of speaking testify to a journey through different ways of being. Language is both the poet’s instructor and, through its various permutations, the dominant ‘image’ of the poem. The [nine] books of The Martyrology document a poet’s quest for insight into himself and his writing through scrupulous attention to the messages hidden in the morphology of his own speech.’ – Frank Davey

    Roughly Speaking - New and...

    Every poet has a drawerful of rejection letters.
    The poems in Roughly Speaking by Eddie Gibbons have for many years - some since as long ago as 1980 - lived in the shadows of their siblings who went on to have wildly exciting lives in Eddie's published poetry collections.
    Roughly Speaking is Eddie Gibbons' fifth volume of poetry and contains both new and rejected poems. Though some of the works included in Roughly Speaking have had brief moments of infamy in poetry magazines the majority have never seen the bright light of public acceptance, their prime achievement to date being the collection of rejection slips.
    To keep these overlooked orphans company there is a small band of brand new poems ― although the readers will have to make up their minds which is which.
    WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT HIM:
    "This particular selection would not be a good fit for our coming edition."

    " Unfortunately, we will not be accepting your work this time."
    Ink, Sweat & Tears
    "However, we do not feel the work is quite right for the magazine."
    Atrium
    "Eddie's boundless capacity for forging a funny and poignant poetic language from common speech makes everyday things shine."
    Seán Bradley
    "Eddie can be formally elegant, devastatingly iconoclastic, and is a master of everything he puts his pen to."
    Anna Crowe
    "None of the work you sent is suitable for our magazine."
    Obsessed With Pipework
    "Eddie's poems should be on the national curriculum."

    The Span of a Small Forever - Poems

    With echoes of Audre Lorde’s The Cancer Journals and Susan Sontag’s Illness as Metaphor, an extraordinary debut collection from a prize-winning poet that chronicles a Black woman’s journey through disability, the byzantine healthcare system, life-giving, taking, and sacrifice. 
    With breathtaking lyricism and a vulnerability that pierces the heart, April Gibson journeys through the emotional abysses, the daily pleasures, the frustrations, and the joys of being a Black woman living with chronic illness.  
    Gibson offers a unique perspective on “the body,” viewing disability and healthcare through both feminist and socio-economic lenses filtered by race and faith. Through gorgeous sensory language that migrates memories, from carefree innocence to the ravages formed in its absence, Gibson bears witness to grief, courage, and resistance to redefine herself on her own terms.   
    Gibson presents her body as a “looking glass” that re-envisions illness, womanhood, motherhood, religious relics and collective loss through her physicality, through her lamenting, through her unearthing, reckoning and rebirth. Not only do we see her, but see the “we” in her. The Span of a Small Forever is both testimony and transformation—heart-shattering in its honesty, it ultimately offers us transcendent beauty, nourishment, and the strength we need to go on in our lives.

    A brilliant, haunting play from the multi-award winning author of The Weir.
    Ian has left the priesthood to become a therapist. John is one of his first clients. John's wife has been killed in a car accident, and he keeps receiving visits from her ghost. John, with Ian's help, starts to recover. But what begins as an unusual encounter becomes a desperate struggle between the living and the dead - a struggle which will shape and define both of them for the rest of their lives.
