Celia de Freine is a poet, playwright and screenwriter who writes in Irish and English. This is a collection of her Irish plays.

Although Rainer Maria Rilke is better known for his work in German, he also wrote more than four hundred poems in French. During a residency at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris, Celia de Fréine became familiar with this work and with the man himself. This collection is a response to Rilke’s influence and to his French oeuvre, in particular the book Migration des Forces.

WEB was the brainchild of Arlen House founder Catherine Rose, who appointed poet Eavan Boland as Creative Director. As an editor at Arlen House from 1978, Boland did much extraordinary work to develop, mentor and promote Irish women writers. The founders of WEB writers’ group initially met at these empowering, transformative workshops hosted by Boland, and they have been meeting continuously for almost forty years, making WEB one of the longest-running writing groups in Ireland. Over the decades, WEB writers and alumni have established highly-successful literary careers, publishing books, having plays and film scripts produced, and winning prestigious literary prizes. This anthology of new poetry, prose and drama, edited by Nessa O’Mahony, is dedicated to the memory of Eavan Boland.
