Some of These Stories are True is the second full-length poetry collection by Dublin-based poet Maurice Devitt. The poems seek out the mystery in everyday urban life in a conversational tone, often with dark humour, exploring hints of the extraordinary in the quotidian, using a transverse section of personal experience to explicate universal themes of love, grief, anxiety, the joy of childhood, the vicissitudes of growing up and, ultimately, growing old.
The Cloud Architect is the third full-length poetry collection by Kinsale- based poet Matthew Geden. This new collection looks at the world through the smoke and mirrors which cloud and hide simple truths found in introspection. These poems reflect upon the natural world, love, grief and the outer and inner journeys we make through life. In The Cloud Architect Matthew attempts to connect these themes with thoughtful clarity. Derek Mahon called him, ‘A quiet contemplative poet alive to the hours and the seasons. A true voice.’
