It's getting to that time of night on Valentine's Day:
To send me blue valentines like half-forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in my shoe as I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory, baby, it's the thistle in the kiss
It's the burglar that can break a rose's neck

It's here! The debut collection of poems from acclaimed writer Tim MacGabhann!
These poems chart the course of addiction and recovery, contemplating the injuries a body can sustain, and what joys we find in these darker spaces in friendship, music, and community.

“…what will the cops smell like this morning…” Tim MacGabhann’s poetry collection from @bansheepress.bsky.social is a rare work that is actually NEEDED badly in times like these. And on the level of the line, really original and fresh.

Today we remember Michael Longley, one of Ireland's foremost poets, on his one year anniversary.
We were delighted to include his previously unpublished poem 'The Elling Woman' in Poetry Ireland Review 146, edited by Stephen Sexton last summer.

The government sits and watches as Heba dies. It's heartbreaking, horrible, almost impossible to compute. Didn't people vote in the hope (however forlorn) of ending the Tories' psychopathic mode of government? Yet on it goes, under Keir Starmer. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
