Queer Love Southword Editions, 150 pages

Poems from Pandemia Southword Editions, 145 pages Pandemia being a land or
In April 2020 the publishers put out a call to poets to submit works of hope or its lack, which were about Covid-19 or an historical / fantasy plague; poems which were autobiographical / confessional or surreal / allegorical. The result is a collection of brilliant work by both established and emerging poets from across the English-speaking world, from Australia to India, Europe to North America. With its accounts of life changed utterly, lives abruptly finished; testimonies of the poignancy, the loneliness and sometimes madness of lockdown, this book is an essential statement of record on the dark times we are living through. Anthology contributors: Rachael Allen, Tom Bailey, Sandra Beasley, Paula Bohince, Paddy Bushe, Moya Cannon, Jane Clark, Patrick Cotter, Adam Crothers, Paula Cunningham, Tony Curtis, Patrick Deeley, Olga Dugan, Maia Elsner, Martín Espada, Sophie Ewh, John Fitzgerald, Tom French, Rigoberto González, Amlanjyoti Goswami, James Harpur, Will Harris, David Harsent, Rachael Hegarty, WJ Herbert, Patrick Holloway, Cory Ingram, Shirin Jindani, Breda Joyce, Julie Kane, Sadbh Kellet, Anthony Lawrence, Aifric Mac Aodha, Derek Mahon, Paul Mariani, John McAuliffe, Thomas McCarthy, Afric McGlinchey, Jon McLeod, John Mee, Sighle Meehan, Tyler Mills, Audrey Molloy, Kim Moore, Jed Myers, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Mary Noonan, Lani O’Hanlon, Keith Payne, Cheryll Pearson, Maya C.

New Eyes on the Great Book Southword Editions
New Eyes on the Great Book by Divers Hands includes exciting new work by twenty-six Cork poets commissioned to respond to the Great Book of Ireland. All twenty-six poets are themselves not included in the Great Book, either due to age, publishing history or anomaly. Among the contributors are Leanne O’Sullivan, Matthew Sweeney, James Harpur, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, Graham Allen, Mary Nooan and many others. The poets were selected by Graham Allen and Patrick Cotter. Graham Allen has also contributed a lively and informative introduction. The book is published by Southword Editions and is a joint initiative of the School of English University College Cork and The Munster Literature Centre. The project was wholly funded under the DUETS scheme. DUETS is funded by University College Cork’s Strategic Research Fund.
