		<title>Sydney Bernard Smith</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Sydney
 &#8211; When I opened your letter I just started in on the verse &#8211; as a dip, to get a taste. Well I was mesmerised.
 I read through to the end. Wonderful frenze (sic) of spot-on rhymes and sword-daring sort of eloquence &#8211; or rapier and cutlass in action demonstration. Intensely enjoyable, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Philip Davison</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pre-eminently human… funny in the way that The Catcher in the Rye was funny. BOOKS IRELAND
Mr Davison has a gentle touch with words that allow them to filter through the mind, leaving a residue of warmth and familiar recognition behind. SUNDAY PRESS
It has a hero who smacks of early Beckett EVENING HERALD
It is obvious that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ciaran O’Driscoll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Through it I discovered Ciaran O&#8217;Driscoll from Limerick, and his collection Gog and Magog from which I bring you the following two. I love the way the first poem has me enter the park as the protagonist did, climbing over the wall ungracefully, and how we don&#8217;t see the poplar until after the fact, when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Philip Casey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a passionate, erotic, mature novel that displays many of the virtues which contemporary Irish fiction so conspicuously lacks: an intelligent vision of an adult relationship coupled with an intelligent vision of contemporary Irish society. Plus, he has a supple prose style which is a constant joy to read.

		<title>Terry McDonagh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Song for Joanna is so successfully lodged in the particularities of Australia – its vibrancy, variety, expanse of sky and land, its mixed cultures and Aboriginal origins – that, returning from a trip to Ireland and filled with longing for it, I fell back in love with my own country. And through it all, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sara Berkeley</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Sara Berkeley&#8217;s poems tend to define an atmosphere, a climate, in which various emotional and existential encounters and transformations are taking place obliquely and gradually&#8230;The most striking aspect of Berkeley&#8217;s talent is her poetic ear, which gives marvellous individiual lines, the unmistakeable signature of a true poetic voice. Again and again, there are lines that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[JAZZTOWN
“A remarkably confident, not to say swaggering, debut for a poet still in his early twenties.”
— The Irish Times
“A sharp and startling debut it surely is. His urban vignettes, while appearing relaxed, are honed down till every word pays its way.”
— Books Ireland
“First collection by a young writer who refuses to play safe. Wonderful, original, [...]]]></description>
