Eva Bourke Livres

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)

A collection of poems, short stories, essays, and extracts from novels and plays, put together to honor Adrian Frazier's invaluable contribution to education in arts in Ireland.
