What Happened
€19.95Hillary Clinton
The Sunday Times Bestseller`It is a compelling read’ – The Financial Times. `a sporadically absorbing, pleasingly vengeful and often darkly funny account of one woman’s bid for presidential history.’ The Sunday Times, `Her new book is more gossipy, it is meaner, more entertaining and more wrong-headed than anything she or her speechwriters have written before.’ The Observer `What Happened is highly entertaining. It is spirited, well-written and informative.’ The Guardian’In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I’ve often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net.

What Just happened
€12.50Gallery Press
Sara Berkeley Tolchin?s new collection begins: ?I?d like my heart /to be without conditions, / to crack each day a little more open?, an ambition these vibrant, airy poems explore in the book?s copious reach. It reflects on themes of loss and losing: ?My mother is missing. The stars too, / the stars are not where I left them, / they are not in their constellations.?
As Wes Davis observed, in his Harvard Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry, ?her rich poems ? and her sharp eye for details of the natural world ? are given a resonant tension by the stretched ties to her native country?. What Just Happened includes poems set on the west coasts of Ireland and the United States. But ?the rumble beneath her poetic language? (Davis continues) ?is most often the noise made by the tectonic plates of personality as they shift beneath the surface terrain of relationships?.

Windharp Poems Of Ireland Since 1916
€25.00Windharp: Niall MacMonagle’s essential anthology of the last century of Irish poetry. The Easter Rising of 1916 was a foundational moment of the independent Irish state; but while that insurrection continues to divide opinion, there is no disagreement as to the majesty of Yeats’ ‘Easter 1916’, or about the excellence of the Irish poetic tradition over the past century. Windharp is an anthology that follows the twists and turns of Irish history, culture and society through the work of its remarkable standing army of poets.
Edited by Niall MacMonagle, Ireland’s most trusted poetry commentator, Windharp is an accessible and inspiring journey through a century of Irish life.

Wounds
€18.50A family story of blood and memory and the haunting power of the past. After nearly three decades reporting conflict from all over the world for the BBC, Fergal Keane has gone home to Ireland to tell a story that lies at the root of his fascination with war. It is a family story of war and love, and how the ghosts of the past return to shape the present.
Wounds is a powerful memoir about Irish people who found themselves caught up in the revolution that followed the 1916 Rising, and in the pitiless violence of civil war in north Kerry after the British left in 1922. It is the story of Keane’s grandmother Hannah Purtill, her brother Mick and his friend Con Brosnan, and how they and their neighbours took up guns to fight the British Empire and create an independent Ireland. And it is the story of another Irishman, Tobias O’Sullivan, who fought against them as a policeman because he believed it was his duty to uphold the law of his country.
