  • When the light goes out
    Peter Goulding
    Simply put, When the Light Goes Out documents Irish lighthouse fatalities from 1786 to 1972. But it is much more than this. In recording these tragic events in chronological order, the book builds into a history of lightkeeping in Ireland from the early years until almost the present day, recording the mostly forgotten stories of people in the service of Irish Lights, and the B...

  • Dining with Milton and Bunyan and other comic verse
    Peter Goulding
    Peter Goulding’s fourth, or maybe fifth, (who’s counting?) book of comic verse again delves the murky depths of the poet’s imagination. There are still plenty of poems about murdering his wife and disposing of her body but there are darker poems too - the proliferation of tomatoes on Jupiter, the birth of Princess Charlotte and his critiques of the counties of Tipperary and Off...

  • My gal got eaten by a grizzly bear (and other uplifting poems of the Wild Wild West)
    Peter Goulding
    It is a very rare publication that features an author who has absolutely no knowledge of the subject about which he is writing.

Based on these films and to the abject ho...

  • The World Cup 2014 in verse (black and white cheapo version)
    Peter Goulding

  • Shelbourne FC - the 2005 Season in verse
    Peter Goulding
    The 2005 League of Ireland season was another epic.

All these events a...

  • Shelbourne FC 2006 in verse
    Peter Goulding
    The 2006 League of Ireland season will be remembered by Shelbourne fans for different reasons. It was the season that we played some of the best football seen at the club. It was the season we clinched the title on the last day of the season. It was the season the club was nearly destroyed by financial problems. It was the season of Stuey Byrne’s rant. The poems in this book te...

  • The Early Not Very Good Poems
    Peter Goulding
    Peter Goulding has, for some reason known only to himself, decided to collate and collect many of his early attempts at comic verse. These 200 prime examples of his early work (you should see some of the dross that didn’t make it into the book!)represent his ’immature’ years (i.e. up to the age of 45)and have very little merit at all. Unsurprisingly, very very few of these have...
