The Boning Hall (Paperback): Mary O'Malley The Boning Hall (Paperback)
Mary O'Malley
R273 Discovery Miles 2 730 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The poetry of Mary O'Malley alludes to and shares form with music--the music of Ireland, the Iberian peninsula, and American jazz. Her themes embrace the child colonized and the adult journey; a poetry exploring love, place, and loss; and the poet's one true home in language. Included are works drawn from her previous previous collections, including Where the Rocks Float, The Knife in the Wave, and Asylum Road.

Perfect V (Paperback): Mary O'Malley Perfect V (Paperback)
Mary O'Malley
R243 Discovery Miles 2 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The poems in Mary O'Malley's new collection focus on legal separation: of Northern from Southern Ireland, of written Irish from its original script, and of husband from wife. The book explores a season in hell when the verities vanish, the love we live by dies, and the ramparts that shore up our existence are demolished. A marriage breaks down, children leave home, love itself is questioned. What is home now? Where is it? And how do we live when we cannot return? The personal is examined through the lens of the greater human chaos. This is a book about eviction, an examination of the nature of home that is both private and political, written out of a sense of the barbarism that threatens to overwhelm the deep song of Ireland.

Valparaiso (Paperback): Mary O'Malley Valparaiso (Paperback)
Mary O'Malley
R269 Discovery Miles 2 690 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Valparaiso is a book of poems begun at sea on an Irish research ship on which Mary O'Malley was a resident poet. It is a book of searches and discoveries. As the scientists chart a course dictated by the demands of their own researches, as Ireland is careering from boom into bust, Mary O'Malley explores the science of going under and staying afloat. What are the effects of such transformations on the imagination? A key poem, 'Out', escapes from the creative lockdown that the Irish boomtime entailed. She returns to an altered place, and is herself changed by an odyssey that has taken her around the Atlantic and Europe to a kind of homecoming.

Playing the Octopus (Paperback): Mary O'Malley Playing the Octopus (Paperback)
Mary O'Malley
R293 R272 Discovery Miles 2 720 Save R21 (7%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Joint Winner of the Michael Hartnett Poetry Award 2018. In Playing the Octopus, her eighth collection of poems, Mary O'Malley's sensitivity to the spirit of Ireland's west coast is as attuned as ever. In a world both earthen and dreamlike, bodily and mythical, a trout is seen to 'swallow light through his skin', a wolf 'howls the great open vowel of his need', and in the emptiness where a tree once stood, 'a tree-shaped brightness dances'. Over the course of the collection, O'Malley twins the Irish west coast with the American east coast, Inis Mor with Coney Island, the parish with the metropolis, the pipes with the axe, each offering its own comfort and wonder. Sylvia Plath, Lois Lane and Antigone feature in an unlikely cast of heroines through which O'Malley tests the mythologies of motherhood and femininity ('no mother is ever good enough until she's dead', writes the poet, with characteristic wit). Playing the Octopus is a body of writing buoyed by the redemptive power and sustaining joy of music, and it closes with O'Malley's translations of the Irish poet Sean O Riordain and the Spaniard Federico Garcia Lorca.

Gaudent Angeli (Paperback): Mary O'Malley Gaudent Angeli (Paperback)

What is time? Our understanding of it changes, between when the angels rejoiced at the incarnation to when Einstein and then Feynman reconceived it. In the strange, unregulated and disorienting world of the web we experience it in new ways, its predictabilities wrested from us. In Mary O'Malley's Demeter and Persephone sequence, time is experienced through generations, but the new gods play differently and spin the clock hands in their own mischievous ways. New generations find the time-patterns and expectations of their predecessors arcane and incomprehensible, and vice versa. Through mythology and ecology, this book sets out to restore connections. The book opens with oranges orbiting a winter kitchen. Time in its dozen guises moves through the poems, as does fate. Mary O'Malley was appointed 2019 Writer Fellow at Trinity College Dublin.

Mary O'Malley; Edited by Marysue Brooks; Illustrated by Diane Solomon

Belonging to Life is an exploration of becoming awake and present for our lives so that we can know - no matter what we are experiencing, the joy and peace that are our birthright. Through stories, ideas and techniques, it explores how to quiet our minds and open our hearts so we can truly belong to ourselves and to life. Mary O'Malley writes from her own personal experience of awakening, having walked through the darkest of times, transmuting pain and wounding into precious treasure.
