Poem of the Week: Dublin Eclipse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We stood waiting in the park with our glasses, our phones and telescopes, but it was the wall that caught my eye â a child pointed, someone gasped: the leaves in the wind, trembling hundreds of crescent suns, pale mouths of shadow, each one a little eclipse. For a moment the city seemed to thin. Under the streets, under the stone, under the names we give things â the old black pool. We looked up as if something were happening there. But it was happening everywhere â in the leaves, in the w
Gaining Ground by Joan Barfoot: A startling feminist classic and so much more (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nearly 50 years after its publication, Gaining Ground still feels quietly radical. Its premise remains startling. Abra abandons her husband, two children and every expectation placed on her to live alone in a cabin in the Canadian wilderness. Years later, her grown-up daughter Katie arrives unexpectedly, opening the door to the past and the difficult freedom Abra has chosen. Few novels of the 1970s were prepared to imagine a woman stepping outside the roles of wife and mother with such uncomprom
Shapechangers: Essays from Irish women quietly challenging how literary history is written (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âOne is not born, but rather becomes, a woman,â Simone de Beauvoir famously wrote. In the opening essay of Shapechangers, Niamh McBranan suggests the same might be said of writers. It is a fitting point of departure for this anthology of more than two dozen Irish women writers, all born during the 1960s, whose essays reveal not simply how books are written but how writers themselves are made through family, education, class, friendship, disappointment, perseverance and the changing social la
Herta Müllerâs The Village on the Edge of the World: Survival under Ceausescuâs regime (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are writers who bear witness to history, and there are writers who alter the way we see it. Herta Müller belongs to the latter category. The Village on the Edge of the World is presented as a series of conversations about her life and work, yet it reads more like a memoir of survival under Ceausescuâs dictatorship, a book about language, memory and the imaginationâs resistance to fear. It becomes something rarer than autobiography: a defence of literature itself. Müller grew up in th
Soul Magic, A Century of Psychotherapy: Humanityâs continuing search for meaning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a moment in Soul Magic when one realises this is not simply a history of psychotherapy. It is also something larger: a history of Europeâs search for meaning after the collapse of old certainties. In an age saturated with therapy, it is easy to forget that a century ago the notion that the mind might be healed through conversation was startling. Beginning with Sigmund Freud and ending in the therapeutic age, psychologist and writer Steve Ayan traces psychology through a cast of figure
