Appeasements
'That was yesterday / Those were my hands / That was yesterday / When the future came...' Yves Nedonsel - born in Normandy in 1947 - was a poet of time and out of keeping with his time. His first book, Remugles, was published in 1974. He then fell silent for decades, turning his attention to the study of transhumance paths and the cultivation of a vineyard in his adopted home of Provence. Yet he continued to revise his poems and compose new ones, creating a body of work remarkable for its intensity, its feverish rhythms, and its grim humour. In 'Autopsy of a Week', 'Summerhill', and 'In Quarantine', the speaker rails against the cant of the contemporary world, yet the language is electrified by the stuff of this world: 'the future is shrink-wrapped', and 'the cheapjack shines / mesmerising to memorise...' By turns profane and profound, Nedonsel's poems give voice, as he himself writes, to 'a voiceless cry torn to shreds by writing'. Appeasements is the first selection of Nedonsel's poems to appear in English. The book also includes a translator's note about the poet and the poetry, as well as several of Nedonsel's letters. Alex Andriesse has translated into English works by Chateaubriand, Paul Lafargue, Cristina Campo, Roberto Bazlen and Jacques Dupin, amongst others. He is an associate editor at New York Review Books.

Love Is A Toad
<p><i>'Can you make eye contact with a slug? I couldn't be sure, but it definitely felt like their betentacled and beady eyes locked with mine for a moment. . . Eye-to-eye, organism to organism, it felt like we were looking at each other.'</i><br><br>Lucy Lapwing grew up 'playing out'. A woodlouse-collecting, snail-racing, tree-climbing, muddy-footed child, she spent more time playing outside than in. But whilst Lucy was always intrigued by the natural world, it wasn't until later in life when her true love of nature began; the thrum, beauty and weirdness of the world around her filling her with an almost indescribable joy.<br><br>But with this new-found love and intense appreciation came other feelings: worry, anger, grief. For every curlew she spotted, she noticed a distinct quietening of the hedgerows; for every beautiful old tree, there would also exist destruction. As Lucy wrangled over this thorny contradiction, her love for nature jostling against her grief at its plight, she decided to unpick these emotions, if not to heal our relationship with nature, then at least to understand it better.<br><br> In her book, <i>Love Is A Toad</i>, Lucy takes to the fields, moors and footpaths of the UK with her fellow nature enthusiasts and digs down into the emotions which nature inspires. Through these interactions and Lucy's own story and observations, she explores everything from wild grief and anger through to soaring joy and indefatigable hope. At once a celebration and a rallying cry, <i>Love Is A Toad</i> prods and pokes at our connection to the world, exploring its complexity in all its muddy, messy and beautiful glory.</p>

A Concise History of Ireland
Situated on one of Europe's busiest sea-roads, Ireland has always been connected to other cultures. This accessible and engaging history explores these connections across 1,600 years, from the arrival of Christianity in the fifth century to the present day. While the Norman invasion in 1169 brought the English crown into Irish politics, the impulse to preserve the Irish language and early Irish history united many of the Gaelic-Irish and Anglo-Normans from the fourteenth century. The Irish nationhood that emerged later was based more on Catholicism, as Ireland became a minor theatre of bitter European conflicts of the early modern period. Political (and religious) loyalties which solidified at this point determined Irish politics for the next three centuries, through the Troubles and beyond. Alongside these major political events, Caitriona Clear examines the living and working conditions of ordinary men and women — what they traded and farmed, how they lived and loved, and how they were often affected, but not always overwhelmed, by the politics of their time.
