Michael LongleySnow Water

In his newest volume, named for the Japanese idea that the bestwater for tea is melted snow, Michael Longley once againdemonstrates that he is one of the best nature poets writing inEnglish. Even in elegies, eulogies, and friendship verse, Longley’sability to find the right natural image with which to communicatehis fellow feelings is striking. His subtle ministrations allow usto capture “our own little cumulus of exhalations.”

WheatearPoem Beginning with a Line of J.M. Synge

Brown lark beside the sunSupervising CarrigskeewaunIn late May, marsh marigoldsAnd yellow flags, trout at the lowBridge hesitating, evenThe ravens’ ramshackle nest—Applaud yourself, applaud meAs I find inside the cottageA wheatear from AfricaBanging against the windowpaneAnd hold in my hands her creamy-Buff underparts and white rumpAnd carry her to the doorAnd she joins you beside the sunBefore skimming across the dunesTo mimic in a rabbit holeAmong silverweed and speedwellMy panic, my breathlessness.

Vona GroarkeFlight and Earlier Poems

“Here is a poet, one suspects, for whom writing has never been as effortless, or as effective: the obvious spirit of exhilaration inwhich these poems have been created is matched by excitementin the reader at encountering a voice that has come entirely intoits own.Vona Groarke has taken off.”—Sinead Morrissey, Metre

In Flight and Earlier Poems, the cultural creation and romanticmyths surrounding such themes as home, family, and landscapeare set against the harsh realities of Ireland’s history.This isGroarke’s first book on the Wake Forest list.

Lines from “Or to Come”

There are always unvisited cornerswhere the only sound is the turn taken by the dandelionsor a robin rustling in the aftergrass nearby. Where a wooden cross tied at the joint bears no name or dateand where what is absolved goes deeper than the darkeninggrain where a cursory coat of whitewash has washed off.

Medbh McGuckianThe Soldiers of Year I I

“McGuckian is on my very short list of poets whose books I buyas soon as I’m aware they’re in print. … Definitive interpreta-tions are less likely to occur than parallel experiences for eventhe most assiduous reader.This dreamy quality recalls themuted surrealism of René Char and Robert Desnos, whoseintrospection and wounded politics bear similarity to Yeats’s, orRilke’s even.”—Jordan Davis, The Constant Critic

Paula MeehanDharmakaya

“Dharmakaya shows an Irish poet extending her tradition withcourage and wit. …Meehan’s voice is unmistakable now, andthrilling.”—Thomas D’Evelyn, Providence Journal

“…we should read this volume as the revelation of the con-sciousness of a woman and a poet, trying to deal with a past ‘tochange the future of it.’ The poem ‘Fist’ directly addresses thisidea as the speaker imagines the fist of a child, cupped in twoadult hands, and pried open, finger by finger, to release pent upanger.The hand then becomes a poem presented to us, ‘spreadwide open in a precise/gesture of giving, or welcome,/its fateclear and empty, like the sky,/like the blue blue sky above theSquare.’”—Patricia Haberstroh, Irish Literary Supplement

Eiléan Ní ChuilleanáinThe Girl Who Married the Reindeer

“Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin’s new collection of poems, The GirlWho Married the Reindeer, brings together poems so elegant and difficult, rich and haunting, that this slim volume stands as both her finest achievement to date and a landmark in contemporary poetry.” —Helen Emmitt, Irish Literary Supplement

“Although Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin has done as much as anyone tomap out new territories for Irish poetry, her poems...are neverhappier than when sequestering themselves or seeking out somecomfortable hidey-hole away from public view. ...but to themysteries of her work can be added what is by now an opensecret: that she has written some of the most skillfully craftedand rewarding poetry of the past thirty years, a verdict onlyconfirmed by The GirlWho Married the Reindeer.”—David Wheatley,(London) Times Literary Supplement
