  • 2015 23Rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog
    2015 23rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog |Poets House|10 River Terrace|New York, NY 10282|poetshouse.org| 5 The 2015 Poets House Showcase is made possible through the generosity of the hundreds of publishers and authors who have graciously donated their works. We are deeply grateful to Deborah Saltonstall Pease (1943 – 2014) for her foundational support. Many thanks are also due to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Leon Levy Foundation, and the many members of Poets House for their support of this project. 6 I believe that poetry is an action in which there enter as equal partners solitude and solidarity, emotion and action, the nearness to oneself, the nearness to mankind and to the secret manifestations of nature. – Pablo Neruda Towards the Splendid City Nobel Lecture, 1971 WELCOME to the 2015 Poets House Showcase! Each summer at Poets House, we celebrate all of the poetry published in the previous year in an all-inclusive exhibition and festival of readings from new work. In this year’s Showcase, we are very proud to present over 3,000 poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artist’s books, and multimedia projects, which represent the work of over 700 publishers, from commercial publishers to micropresses, both domestic and foreign. For twenty-three years, the annual Showcase has provided foundational support for our 60,000-volume library by helping us keep our collection current and relevant. With each Showcase, Poets House—one of the most extensive poetry collections in the nation—continues to build this comprehensive poetry record of our time.

  • A Poet's Rising
    A POET’S RISING A POET’S RISING In 2015 the Irish Writers Centre answered the Arts Council’s Open Call for 2016 and A Poet’s Rising was born. Our idea was this: to commission six of Ireland’s most eminent poets to respond through poetry focusing on a key historical figure and a particular location associated with the Rising. The poets would then be filmed in each discreet location and made permanent by way of an app, freely available for download. The resulting poems are beautiful, important works that deserve to be at the forefront of the wealth of artistic responses generated during this significant year in Ireland’s history. We are particularly proud to be producing this exceptional oeuvre in the year of our own 25th anniversary since the opening of the Irish Writers Centre. • James Connolly at Liberty Hall poem by Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin • Pádraig Pearse in the GPO poem by Paul Muldoon • Kathleen Lynn in City Hall poem by Jessica Traynor • The Ó Rathaille at O’Rahilly Parade poem by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill • Elizabeth O’Farrell in Moore Lane poem by Theo Dorgan • The Fallen at the Garden of Remembrance poem by Thomas McCarthy We wish to thank Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Paul Muldoon, Jessica Traynor, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Theo Dorgan and Thomas McCarthy for agreeing to take part and for their resonant contributions, and to Conor Kostick for writing the historical context links between each poem featured on the app. A special thanks goes to Colm Mac Con Iomaire, who has composed a beautiful and emotive score, entitled ‘Solasta’, featured throughout the app.

My two supervisors, Elizabeth Butler Cullingford and Barbara Harlow, introduced me to much of the literature and many of the ideas that make up this project. Their direction throughout the process was invaluable: they have been, and continue to be, inspirational teachers, scholars and individuals. Kamran Ali brought both academic rigor and a sense of humor to the defense as he pushed the manuscript beyond its boundaries. Ann Cvetkovich translated her fresh perspective into comments on new directions for the project and Ian Hancock was constantly generous with his resources and unique knowledge of the Irish Traveller community.

  • Empathy and Its Aesthetic Power in Paula Meehan's Poetry
    "None of us well fixed": Empathy and its Aesthetic Power in Paula Meehan's Poetry Thomas McCarthy An Sionnach: A Journal of Literature, Culture, and the Arts, Volume 5, Numbers 1 & 2, Spring & Fall 2009, pp. 65-74 (Article) Published by University of Nebraska Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/362736 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] 06-mccarthy-pp65-74:sample 9/29/09 10:26 PM Page 65 THOMAS M CCARTHY “None of us well fixed”: Empathy and its Aesthetic Power in Paula Meehan’s Poetry “I’m no Buddhist: too attached to the world / of my six senses” wrote Paula Meehan in “Sudden Rain,” a brief lyric poem in Dharmakaya (2000 ). The statement is both true and untrue, but its wavering distance from what is true and untrue is a dynamic aesthetic, a diary of oscillations, in the serious pil - grimage of this serious poet. It is now a quarter of a century since Beaver Row Press published Return and No Blame (1984 ), a book without pack - aging, a book without blurb or biography, that fell upon us like an LP from Motown Detroit. Meehan’s was a voice both unexpected and unher - alded, yet polished and certain. It was still the early eighties in Ireland, a land of lightly trodden and unpaved roads in women’s writing. Yes, Eavan Boland had recorded both her own image and her night feeds in brave, minimalist forms, but Caitlín Maude was suddenly dead, and the achievements of Adrienne Rich, Carolyn Forché , and Jane Cooper were but distant rumors.
