This volume combines new collections by established authors Deirdre Brennan and Maighread Medbh with a collection by emerging author Nuala Ni Chonchuir. The diversity of their work reveals much skill and insight with astute observations-sometimes comical, sometimes sad-on the human condition and the world around us.

A new poetry collection, at the age of 88, by a writer who first became interested in writing in the 1940s and 1950s when she met famous Irish writers Peig Sayers and Blanaid Salkeld. Over the subsequent 70 years she has fine tuned her feminist inclinations into a celebration of women who changed the world, such as Enheduanna, the first named poet in the world who laid claim to her work, the witches of Ghana, and the Cambridge women astronomers who were known as the Harvard computers.
