PIW 15 December 2011

We wrap up the year with four poets from Ireland, in whose work can be found different articulations of love and relationships – from the idealised, self-contained lovers' world of Irish-language poet Caitríona Ní Chléirchín, to Greg Delanty's wry look at the biochemistry of the stages of love between a couple; from Michael O'Loughlin's outsider/insider relationship to his nation and the Irish language to Katie Donovan's physical, visceral depictions of family bonds. 

Thank you to our readers for your continued support of PIW. We wish you all a happy holiday season!
