Tom Lowenstein's first full-length book of poems shows his development from meditative and hermetic earlier poems, through formalism to a mode of controlled ironic wildness, in which he explores in concrete detail the fantasies that emerge from metaphor and parodic speech. Unnervingly precise comedy is only one aspect of his gift; in the narrative poems which end the book he deals excitingly with ethnology and myth.

"The Intelligence of Clouds" is Stanley Moss' third collection of poems. 'We must be grateful to the Anvil Press for importing Stanley Moss', wrote John Fuller of his first, "The Wrong Angel" (1969). Reviewing "Skull of Adam" (1979) in the "Poetry Review", John Mole found impressive 'the success with which Moss coaxes his theme of the infinite preciousness of life close to death from small, domestic details...It is hard to give an adequate impression of Moss' twin gifts of wit and lyricism by extracting. They are inseparable'.

Still the classic work on the subject-now in a new and enlarged edition-with ""all the evidence of hard work, happily allied to a sense of style. Roche tells his story in the style of a war correspondent""-Irish Times. This is a fascinating and heavily illustrated account of the most farreaching event that occurred in Ireland since the introduction of Christianity.

History

Europe

In 1919 a group of men barely out of their teens, poorly armed, and without money or training, renewed the fight to drive the British out of Ireland. When the Treaty in 1921 failed to bring complete separation from Britain, and Civil War loomed, Dan was in San Francisco. He had a premonition that he was going back to meet his death. On the train from California to New York, he jotted down the rough draft of his life which became this book. The fact that it was written at white heat in such a brief time gives it a swiftness, almost a breathlessness of movement, rare in historical memoirs. First published in 1924 and revised in 1964 by the author.

Washington's Irish policy, 1916-1986: Independence, partition, neutrality

Cronin, Seán

<p>In 1919 a group of young men barely out of their teens, poorly armed, with no money and little training, renewed the fight, begun in 1916, to drive the British out of Ireland. Dan Breen was to become the best known of them. At first they were condemed on all sides. They became outlaws and My Fight describes graphically what life was like 'on the run,' with 'an army at one's heels and a thousand pounds on one's head'. A burning belief in their cause sustained them through many a dark and bitter day and slowly support came from the people.</p>

KILLING TIME IN A WARM PLACE is a novel of growing up in the Philippines during the Marcos years. Told in the voice of its protagonist, Noel Ilustre Bulaong, the narrative travels through familiar social and literary territory: the coconut groves of Bulaong's childhood, Manila's hovels, the Diliman Commune, "UG" safehouse, martial law prisons, and the homes and offices of the petty-bourgeoisie. It is a story of false horizons, of betrayal, compromise, and guilt, and not incidentally of the contemporary middle-class Filipino's migration from the village to the metropolis to the outside world.
