A hardback reprint of the classic Irish Pages issue on Seamus Heaney to commemorate the tenth anniversary of his death on 30 August 2013. “So many people in Ireland and overseas read, admired, and watched him. The extraordinary degree to which Heaney was a creative and ethical exemplar, shaper, mentor, influence, and generous friend for his fellow poets and writers comes through especially powerfully in this book, with its 54 contributors from Ireland, Britain, the United States and further afield...” Including four last poems by Seamus Heaney, this truly commemorative volume is sure to sell in very large numbers. Sven Birkerts and Helen Vendler on the man and the poet. A Suite of Obituaries & Global Reminiscences by leading poets and writers in Ireland, Britain and the United States. Poems by Kerry Hardie, Michael Coady, Paddy Bushe, Kathleen Jamie, Katie Donovan, Seán Lysaght, Damian Smyth, Ignatius McGovern, John F. Deane, Francis Harvey, Michael Longley, Alan Gillis, Moya Cannon and Harry Clifton. President Michael D. Higgins on John Hewitt & Richard Murphy on poetry and terror. Writing in Irish from Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Cathal Ó Searcaigh and others. PLUS: “Seamus Justin Heaney 1939-2013”, a unique photographic portfolio by Bobbie Hanvey.

A long-awaited collection of superb and distinctive essays moving between Ireland and the Balkans, often considering parallels between Belfast and Sarajevo in such well-known work as “A Week in Sarajevo”, “Weather Report: Good Friday Week, 1998”, “Troubled Belfast”, “A Day with the VJ”, “The Ethnic Basis of Irish Poetry” and “The View from the Lagan”. An immigrant and distinguished poet, Agee brings a unique perspective to life in Ireland and the Balkans with their communal and sectarian histories. Agee is a writer particularly concerned with the “ethical imagination” as exemplified by his “poetic work of nonfiction” Trump Rant, a nuanced exploration of authoritarian drift and thwarted democratic aspiration in a number of world-historical contexts, from Belfast to the Balkans to the formerly Confederate South. He divides his time between Ireland, Scotland and Croatia.

“War in Europe” is an essential issue from Irish Pages, the island’s leading literary journal. The prime focus is the war in Ukraine, guest edited by the highly distinguished Ukrainian-American novelist Askold Melnyczuk. Much Ukrainian writing (from both inside and outside the country) has been assembled. A great deal of translation is involved, including by distinguished poets and translators whose first language is English. All involved view this issue as an “urgent ethical project”. “War in Europe” is not of course limited to the current war in Ukraine. There will also be small relevant amounts of writing about the violent twentieth-century history of Ireland (including the Troubles) and of the Balkans, as well as the on Second World War. As with every issue, there will also be a “Portfolio” of images – this time, of course, exclusively on the war in Ukraine.
