Race in Irish Literature and Culture
Race in Irish Literature and Culture provides an in-depth understanding of intersections between Irish literature, culture, and questions of race, racialization, and racism. Covering a vast historical terrain from the sixteenth century to the present, it spotlights the work of canonical, understudied, and contemporary authors in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and among diasporic Irish communities. By focusing on questions related to Black Irish ident…
Forms of Resistance
The inhospitability of the lyric mode to marginal and dissenting perspectives means Irish poetry has always found subversive ways of witnessing violence. Some recent Irish poetry locates resistance in formal innovation, as a means of bearing witness to acts of institutional, racial and structural violence that disfigure Irish society. As Carolyn Forché observes in Poetry of Witness, this aesthetic is often sited in the social sphere, between the …
“It Was a Smoke Dream”
The formal, ideological, and narrative elements constituting the aesthetics of hope and disappointment in women’s writing of the Irish revolution offer new insights into the gendered experience of conflict.

The Poetics of Migration in Contemporary Irish Poetry
The technologies of distance
This article analyses Conor O’Callaghan’s collection The Sun King as an expression of contemporary migration practices. It places the poet’s technological mobilities within larger global movements and argues that the collection reconfigures poetic versions of migration for the twenty-first century. The Sun King (2013) is located in explicitly transient spaces, while its formal innovations serve to mimeticise contemporary dislocation. In reinventi…
