future always makes me so thirsty
Northern Irish poetry has an unrivalled reputation worldwide. Heaney, Longley, Muldoon and, of course, Morrissey herself are just a few of the stellar talents to have emerged from the North. Blackstaff Press has always been at the forefront of celebrating this rich poetic talent in its landmark anthologies. New Poets from the North of Ireland continues this tradition, bringing together a new generation of poets who have come to prominence in the last decade. From prize-winning poets such as Miriam Gamble and Stephen Sexton to new voices such as Adam Crothers, Padraig Regan and Emma Must, this anthology shows why another generation of poets from Northern Ireland looks set to dominate the world stage for years to come.
