Vona Groarke who teaches at the Centre for New Writing, launches her sixth poetry collection, X, a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
X is a book of honesty and poise: its lustrous detail and exacting truths make this a groundbreaking publication from a poet hailed in Poetry Ireland Review as ‘among the best Irish poets writing today’.

He edited The Faber Book of 20th-Century Italian Poems and he has translated two novels by Giorgio Bassani, a verse play by Pier Paolo Pasolini and Valerio Magrelli’s poems, The Embrace, which won the Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize and the John Florio Italian Translation Prize in 2010.
