With "The Naked Octopus" Irish writer Gabriel Rosenstock returns to the poetic form he has made his own: the haiku. The 73 haiku in this collection chart the imaginings and adventures of an amorous octopus who (the personal pronoun cannot be avoided here) emerges from the ocean to consummate his longstanding love for a human woman. As with Hokusai's famous woodcut "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife," nothing is left to the imagination and Rosenstock represents this fantastical union with an intensity and vividness unparalleled in English-language haiku writing today. Provocative, humorous,...

Since the inception of Cornish Studies, the matter of Cornish Philosophy has suffered considerable neglect. Philosophy is a field in which humanity investigates problems connected with reality and existence; in so doing, investigating values, thought and language. Like other minority communities and peoples across the globe, the Cornish should be asking what makes them who they are. In this vital corrective, "Towards a Cornish Philosophy," Alan M. Kent offers an initial study of the basic beliefs, attitudes and concepts belonging to the Cornish over time. Not only is the relationship of...

Lewis Carroll (Christ Church College, Oxford), Mathew Staunton, Michael Everson
Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author's real name and he was lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson began the story on 4 July 1862, when he took a journey in a rowing boat on the river Thames in Oxford together with the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, with Alice Liddell (ten years of age) the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen years of age), and Edith (eight years of age). As is clear from the poem at the beginning of the book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a story and reluctantly at first he...

A playful and inventive collection of thoroughly modern poetry, The Lost Box of Eyes moves smoothly between visually vibrant poems brimming with people, life and colour; and quieter meditative nature poems. Alan John John Stubbs captures and evokes tender moments of interaction between strangers, lovers, and a lyrical experience of the natural world through his use of sensually rich detail and energetic language. A striking and ambitious range of work from a talented writer.

Elizabeth-a girl in the Gran Chaco-tells about her life in a diary. Having been born in Russia, she tells about the founding and the building of her village in the Chaco of Paraguay, with all the inherent difficulties in a wilderness settlement and growing up in conservative provincialism, with the conflicting priorities typical of a Mennonite society of long standing-societal norms on the one hand, and Christian commandments and rules on the other. The political world at the time motivated her flight from Russia, and continued to play a decisive role during the Second World War with its...

118 haiku in Scots by haiku master John McDonald with transcreations in Irish by Gabriel Rosenstock. Raw, real, disturbing and beautiful, these haiku are ..".an invitation to see more clearly, to hear more sharply, to feel more soulfully. If we have at all those eyes to see and those ears to hear they wake us up, not only to taste the language, but to hear the music of wonder. These verbal explosions echo in the chambers of wisdom." Alan Titley (Writer & scholar, Professor Emeritus of Modern Irish, UCC)
