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.
