The recent shipment of books from Ireland includes many collections of poetry including books from Salmon Press, Revival Press, Arlen House, and the relatively new Skein Press.

Readers are encouraged to check the new book area in the north end of the first floor of Hesburgh Library — there is always something of interest.

Our most recent shipment of books from Ireland includes something for everybody! I took a few quick phone pictures before they went off for cataloging.

See the following announcement: ‘The Gallery Press launches poet Eiléán Ní Chuilleanáin’s “Second Voyages” at the Dublin Global Gateway.’

This next book is by Fiacre Ryan. The publisher tells is it is ‘the first book to be authored by an Irish non-verbal autistic person.’

The Man Who Died and Rose Again. (Double Jig). In Francis O’Neill: The dance music of Ireland: 1001 gems. To see the book, Visit the Hesburgh Special Collections: Special Coll.Rare Books Large M 1744 .D36 1986, or see this digitized copy in Hathi Trust: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/011983920

*Books marked ‘New Book Area’ will eventually be moved to their permanent shelving location. The New Book Area is a good place to browse for new books, especially in the DA section on Irish history, the PB section for Irish language literature and the PR section which includes literature from Britain and from Ireland.
