Bøger udgivet af Salmon Poetry

Eamonn Wall has a bright eye for detail--a preacher on a plaza in New Mexico, the arrangement of objects in a window in Co. Sligo, pine needles covered in snow in South Dakota Bend-it is from these visual images that the poems in this new collection take flight. They celebrate the joys and heartaches of time spent intensely in the light. One of the many striking themes in this collection is migration and the search for material and emotional shelter and refuge in unfamiliar locations. Here is a poet in tune with origins, dislocations, and the quiet moments that crave for description.

This anthology offers five translations from ten Galician women poets, ranging in age, experience and style. It offers a unique insight into the imaginative, social, and personal preoccupations with which the Galician poets have engaged in the late 20th century and in the first decade of the 21st. An interesting feature of this anthology is that each Galician poet has selected one poem in five to be rendered purely in the Irish language. This tri-lingual approach is an attempt to represent the cultural and linguistic concerns which both Ireland and Galicia have shared historically.
