Sobre IBD

A powerful meditation on memory, belonging, and lives shaped in silence. The Drift of Memory traces the journeys of women who crossed seas, raised families, and carried histories in their bones. Through poems of resilience, faith, loss, and quiet defiance, Dermot Murphy honours a generation whose stories echo far beyond their time and place. 'A deeply humane collection exploring memory, migration, and resilience across generations. These poems trace everyday lives shaped by faith, grief, and love.' Dr Marc Scully, academic and writer on Irish identity 'These poems honour the lives of women who crossed seas and shaped families. Rich with emotional truth, they evoke legacies and longing with lyrical grace.' Dr Eamonn O’Neal OBE DL, broadcaster and journalist 'A beautiful tribute to the women who carried ’home in their voices.’ I found it very moving and left a tear on every page.' Sean Cooney, songwriter and member of the Young’uns 'Emotionally rich and thematically coherent, these poems hold space for collective experience with tenderness and quiet authority.' Isabelle Kenyon, author and founder of Fly on the Wall Press

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
