Poems from Pandemia
Edited by Patrick Cotter
Southword Editions, 145 pages
ISBN: 978-1-905002-82-5
Price: €12 (free postage worldwide for Southword subscribers)
€15 (including postage to Europe / North America)

Pandemia being a land or planet whose name derives
from the word pandemic.
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.

€12 (international postage included)
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.

Graham Allen has also contributed a lively and informative introduction.
