Poetry
Shades of the Sublime and Beautiful
John Kinsella
ISBN-10: 1921361093
Explores issues of sublimity and beauty, contemplates the aesthetic and the transcendent, examines nature and the artificial/made. From the small to the large, from the soothing aesthetics of shape and form through to what constitutes 'ugliness' or 'terror', it challenges our preconceptions and often finds the beautiful in the ugly, the ugly in the beautiful, or calm in the tempest, and tempest in the more benign moments.

Songs Orphans Sing
Sarah French
ISBN : 978-0-7340-3
Sarah French’s poetry is remarkable for a number of things: its crystalline quality; its deftness; its compassion. She has the sharply observant eye of the genuine article. In this work, language spins and flips in an instant, acrobatic; time and time again, its imagery startles and moves. And throughout runs both a deep tenderness and abiding humour.
