Byrne’s hymn to his brother is bardic
His abiding anti-imperialism found expression in the play
whether funeral pyre or beacon in the dark light
poetry by Black feminist and arguments for the right to remain child-free
The book seeks to address historic and ongoing failures by the publishing industry to fairly represent the Gypsy
The Blue Cocktail by Audrey Molloy Tapsalteerie Byrne’s hymn to his brotherAudrey Molloys collection, The Important Things, was shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney First Collection Poetry Prize. Stephen Sextons citation noted, In this striking, moving, bold debut, Audrey Molloys poems move between Ireland and Australia, parenthood and daughterhood, and the sensual worlds of the body, its attendant desires and intensities. Beyond these essential forces, The Important Things, in all its formal elegance, is a book of grief too.
