Arlen House Medea's Cauldron
A new poetry collection, at the age of 88, by a writer who first became interested in writing in the 1940s and 1950s when she met famous Irish writers Peig Sayers and Blanaid Salkeld. Over the subsequent 70 years she has fine tuned her feminist inclinations into a celebration of women who changed the world, such as Enheduanna, the first named poet in the world who laid claim to her work, the witches of Ghana, and the Cambridge women astronomers who were known as the Harvard computers.

Arlen House Belongings
This joint collection, Belongings, is an absolute joy to read and represents some of Kate Newmann and Joan Newmann's finest work to date. One of the most interesting aspects of the poetry is its distinctiveness from and, at the same time, its connectedness to the other, both in terms of theme and style. In other words, it is very evident that the poetry is written by two quite separate and individual poets with very different interests and modes of expression, and, yet, there is a relationship between the two that, though difficult to pinpoint, remains remarkably complementary.

Arlen House The Boiling Point for Jam
In this debut collection from a poet whose reverence for nature is a constant and comforting aesthetic, the poems explore themes of innocence and experience. From the intimacy of personal loss to war and its cruel consequences, and traversing from Fermanagh to Tehran, these poems are always surprising, always true, always made more by Tavakoli's choice of images and her unfailing lightness of touch.

Arlen House Eachtraí Mara Phaidí Pheadair as Toraigh
Although Tory Island, a small island off the north coast of Ireland, has been a stronghold of the Irish language for centuries, the island has no literary tradition. Therefore, this recently discovered manuscript, written over 100 years ago, is a major literary find. Written by Séamus Mac a' Bháird in a rich Tory dialect that no longer survives, the novel is a story full of travel and adventure.
