Publisher Finds a New Home in an Old Pub
"With €60,000 raised, the poetry house could cover the costs of relocating and renovating the building they were moving to. 'It dates from 1870 and was a pub for a good part of its life, and we’ve preserved its 19th century ambience—without the bar, however.' While it is poetry not pints that will flow from now on in what was formerly Dalys pub, the development means the world to Ms Lendennie and her small team, including Siobhán Hutson and Eleanor Cummins."

What Sparks Poetry:
Evelyn Reilly on "Having Broken, Are"
"I live in New York City and also down a dirt road in the country, and that dual existence is part of the 'reality' of both the title poem and the poem sequences that make up most of this book. I put 'reality' in quotation marks because all poems, I believe, are attempts to channel what Sun RA (who is also an interlocutor in this book) calls the 'impossible possible,' which is both a reality and not. Seeking possible words for impossible possibilities I take as one of poetry’s tasks." |
