Join us next Wednesday for a special reading with Irish poet John McAuliffe as he launches a recent collection from @WFUPress. Selected Poems are "poems of the senses, of place, of childhood memories from Kerry, and of calendar and life events."

SARA BERKELEY Some of the Things I’ve Seen @WFUPress 2023. Rich with substantives and powerfully flowing between singular perceptions, yearnings, and intimate universals. A massive talent I’ve only now become aware of. @gagebybell
"I think that sadness has inspired more poetry for me than joy in the past, but I find that balance shifting now."

CIARAN CARSON Rimbaud The Alexandrine Plan @WFUPress (1998) Carson’s translations reveal what made his original poems so original. Read this from any angle, but read it for the rhymes. Rimbaud suffers from his biography: Carson’s versions reveal an astonishing talent.

in this sequoia grove the mind expands
to the edge of the forest which is the edge
of mind where I see the enchanted path
in and through the teeming forest of childhood,
your poetry written on my empty hands,
the leaves, your pages dreaming a whole age:
Paula Meehan
