Mary Kennelly, On the Wind and the Singing Tide: Selected Poems
Across nearly twenty-five years of writing, Mary Kennelly has crafted poems that reframe the everyday with startling precision and profound empathy. This selected collection celebrates the qualities readers and critics alike have admired in her poetry: its honest relatability, its keen observations, and its capacity to reveal art in what we too often overlook… This is a book I would like to keep, to read and re-read and to share, and that is the best tribute that one can give to both Salmon Poetry and Mary Kennelly.’ Denis Smyth Díaz
Tony Guerin, Quilt
Quilt is a rollicking intermeshing forty-four chaptered journey of the most diverse people and places, where every-word every-line every-page every-story is given freedom to-breathe to-shape to-paint its very own destiny.
