New collection of poems from much-admired German-born poet, long
resident n Galway. "In these new poems Eva Bourke leans into what
she calls the "heart of things," discovering for herself, and us,
time and again that there truly is a heart of things, and to
things, and that it might well survive all that conspires against
it, even in the most war-broken, besieged, and harm-full places on
earth. These poems suggest that the soul is an enduring gentleness
in us, in others, in perhaps everything, and that it needs us to
release it, to let it breathe, to nourish it with what we create
rather than destroy. That gentleness is what we hear throughout the
ample and beautiful margins of this book, the notes of its music
being played with such care, and played softly, piano." -Fred
Marchant Author of The Looking House (Graywolf Press, USA) and
House on Water, House in Air (Dedalus Press)
First published in April 2005 and now in its second edition, The
Latitude of Naples is German-born Irish resident Eva Bourke's third
collection of poems with the Dedalus Press. "This is a poetry whose
heart is lyric and whose hinterland is all Europe, while at the
same time dwelling in the poetic discourse of her adopted culture"
- Sunday Tribune (Ireland)
Editors Eva Bourke and Borbala Farago present a timely and
important anthology of poems by sixty-six poets, from all over the
world, who have made their homes in Ireland and who contribute to,
challenge and ultimately broaden the definiton of what is thought
of as 'writing from Ireland'. "As its subtitle suggests, Landing
Places is an anthology of immigrant poets living in Ireland. Of
course it is not accidental that we, as editors, should be
interested in and absorbed by the work of such writers since it
touches upon our own personal lives. Both of us are ourselves
immigrants to this country, and both of us are poets. Both of our
families have a narrative of displacement, emigration, religious
and political persecution reflecting centuries of a European
history of war, expulsions, racism and ethnic cleansing. We know
that, whether voluntary or forced, it is never easy to end one life
and begin another elsewhere, leaving family and friends, one's
familiar places and the sounds of one's language behind." -from The
