Fourteen-year-old Orla's mum is dead. She lives in England with her unemployed father and baby sister Lily, but she's planning to run away to live in Northern Ireland, where her mother is buried. Preoccupied with trouble at home and at school, she accidentally crashes her bike into a man who calls himself Jesus and says he is the Son of God. He has never seen a smartphone. He can raise animals from the dead by blowing into their mouths, including Orla's cat Sneaky. Orla convinces Jesus to come with her to Ireland to bring her mum back to life and she teaches him how to ride a bike to get there. But Jesus has plans of his own, and after one of his revivals goes horribly wrong, Orla must decide how far she is willing to go to save her mother. A hilarious coming-of-age story, road novel, and meditation on the mysteries of faith and grief, this debut novel heralds an important new voice in world literature. - Häftad, Engelska, 2026

Written in the form of a 19th-century notebook of ornithological observations, Field Notes from an Extinction follows the life and work of one Ignatius Green, a fictitious English scientist dispatched by the Royal Society to the remote island of Tor Mor off the northern Irish coast. Green, a widower, is single-minded and self-righteous, brilliant and bumbling. He is determined to set the scientific record straight on the mating rituals, feeding and care of hatchlings, and other minutiae he can gather about the Great Auk (pinguinus impennis). Green's world is shattered when his monthly goods delivery arrives ravaged by the local Irish townsmen. His fury at their impertinence is matched only by his dismay at finding a small child amid the shipment - dirty, abandoned, mute, and utterly feral and unmanageable. Worse, the locals are growing restless and hungry. And there is talk sweeping the land of a terrifying woman with unnatural power. Green fights for his survival against brigands and hunger and, most fearsome, the resolve of a fierce and angry child. And, perhaps, for a wider understanding of family amidst roiling societal unrest. - Häftad, Engelska, 2026

Elsa and the Wolfman is a powerful, lyrical duet between father and newborn daughter, written in two contrasting voices. The father, poet and caregiver, uses classical forms to wrestle with anxieties of raising a child and growing older, while Elsa’s lines – willful, instinctive, curious – dart across the page countering and shaping him.Intimate, moving, funny and sensitive to harm, the collection explores their bond as they navigate a world beset by pandemics, feathered dinosaurs, kidney stones, cruelty in the borderlands, and stark fairy-tale nightmares. From waking in a smoky house to the Wolfman letting a bat out of a window, it is a book of love, learning, and the profound, playful bond between father and daughter. - Häftad, Engelska, 2019

Eoghan Walls’ Pigeon Songs is a gorgeous second collection of poems: richly detailed, densely metaphorical, steeped in themes of love and loss. The pigeon as a totem animal rings true, suggesting both a down-to-earth physicality along with an ability to astonish, to take flight. From the first piece, ‘Angry Birds’ we have a sense of the poet’s themes and preoccupations: we have a richly metaphorical and densely allusive style, a pull towards formal metre and structures. There is also the occasional vigorous vulgarity, adding a touch of blue humour to the canvas, breaking up the formal rigor. Formally adept, vividly evocative, Pigeon Songs rewards re-reading. - Häftad, Engelska, 2011

The Salt Harvest is the debut collection from a startling new talent, Eoghan Walls. Dark and evocative, these poems carry rich, multi-layered descriptions of the natural world, and cast a sardonic yet tender eye over the human condition.All the climates of his native Ireland inspire poems of muscular imagery and complex form, each line 'packed with ore'. There is also an ambivalent, often deeply ironic attitude towards a culture once steeped in religion. Threads of humour run throughout, an imaginative playfulness evident in 'Martin Healey's War on God and Ireland', 'Frog' and 'Star Matter'."The poems in Eoghan Walls's debut collection, The Salt Harvest, are wideranging, muscular and full of a linguistic and intellectual restlessness." Hugh Dunkerley, London Review"In Walls poetry we find an acute sensitivity to register, the voice hesitant, casual, mild, and, in its own way, open to anything."John RedmondEoghan Walls won an Eric Gregory Award in 2006, and recently completed a PhD in English Literature at the Seamus Heaney Centre, Queen's University, Belfast. He has taught English in Ireland as well as in Heidelberg, Rwanda, and for the Open University. His poem 'The Naming of the Rat' was featured in Granta's New Writing 14 (2006); while his other work has appeared widely in magazines like Poetry London, The Stinging Fly, Poetry Ireland Review and The London Magazine, and he appears regularly at poetry festivals and reading events.
