Poetry. Trevor Joyce is one of those Irish poets, in the line of James Clarence Mangan, Brian Coffey, and Samuel Beckett, whose work explores new fields and modes rather than dwelling in the familiar. "He is a writer of great integrity and originality, his writing is both exciting and assured and his way of looking at the world is not arcane" - J.C.C. Mays, The Recorder. "His characteristic strengths are astonishing graces of language: he can fuse intricate argument with plain and lovely images and make all moving" - Eavan Boland, Irish Times.

Poetry. SELECTED POEMS 1967- 2014 offers a major career retrospective, taking texts not only from his earlier Shearsman collected poems, with the first dream of fire they hunt the cold (2001; 2nd edition, 2003) and the subsequent large Canadian volume, What's in Store (2007), but also from harder-to-find, and more recent material, both translated and original.

Poetry. Shearsman published Trevor Joyce's collected poems, WITH THE FIRST DREAM OF FIRE THEY HUNT THE COLD, to great acclaim in 2001 (and a second edition of the book in 2003), and this volume extracts his remarkable translation of the epic Sweeny Peregrine from that volume and offers it together with a large group of other versions from the Old and Middle Irish, thus offering Anglophone readers a glimpse of some very unusual verse that rarely sees the light of day outside academic volumes, while also transposing it into a form that will seem familiar to readers of Joyce's own work.
