Ballintrillick
Belfast poet Tom Morgan's fourth collection of poetry is a sustained - and subtly subverting - exploration of place. Taking Ballintrillick, which is situated both geographically and metaphorically on the other side of Benbulben, the burial place of William Butler Yeats, Morgan vividly explores the typography, folk memory and lore of County Sligo. Morgan brings to his task the sensibility of the natural poet, recognising his duty both to his subject and the reader to produce a collection which is both bracing and approachable.

BOYLE ABBEY
A brief account of the history of Cistercian settlement in England, Wales and Ireland - revealing the conflict between 'native' Cistercian houses and those founded by the Anglo-Norman invaders - is followed by an in-depth description of the architecture of Boyle Abbey, leading finally to careful consideration of the weighting of vernacular and Cistercian influence in west of Ireland abbeys.

By Hereditary Virtues
This new history tells the story of the Lough Rynn estate from early times to the present, with a large focus on Lord Leitrim and the time of the Great Famine.
The book describes the lives of the people - from the poorest labourers to the richest landlords - and sets these in the context of major national events.
With Lough Rynn Castle now re-opened as a luxury hotel, the book is a timely recounting of how Mohill and Ireland has changed over the last 150 years and makes compelling reading for anyone with an interest in the past and how it has shaped us.

Constance Markievicz
This book traces Constance Markievicz's journey from a pampered childhood in a Sligo Landlord's mansion to her participation in Ireland's literary and Political Renaissance. The little known story of her daughter Maeve and her son in law, Stanislaw, is also recorded. Paintings by Constance, produced while in solitary confinement in Holloway jail, are reproduced in this book for the first time ever.
Her meeting and marriage to the aristocrat Count Dunin Markievicz at art school in Paris is detailed here. It describes how on their return to Dublin she threw her lot in with the poor, running the soup kitchens during the workers strikes and the Dublin lockout of 1913.

Hearths & Homesteads
The Ireland of the nineteen twenties and thirties has vanished. It exists only in the memories and recollections of a generation whose members become fewer on the ground with each year that passes. No previous age has witnessed such vast progress in education and technological advancement as has taken place in the western world over the past eighty years. Traditional rituals, customs and practices are no longer applicable. Personal reminiscences of senior citizens will help to illustrate to future generations what life in Ireland was like during that era.
