‘O’Malley is a true artist in sketching the beautiful, small details without which the essence of place, and the identity dependent on it, can be all too easily erased.’ – EAVAN BOLAND
The poems of The Shark Nursery respond to a disturbed world. The experience of lockdown, of lives lived in an online reality, and of the animal world are the interlocking parts of the poems’ world. The animal poems draw on the tradition of animals in Irish poetry and myth. From the wolf’s touch to the rat’s tweet, animals and fish refuse the roles human beings impose on them. O’Malley’s animals find new language in the face of contemporary perils.
In fusing mythic with modern elements, The Shark Nursery is marked by rigorous attention to language and tone. Its poems weave between human, animal and metaphysical realms. In a space before noise begins, tigers visit cities and a white leopard sits on a lawn in Suburbia. In the strange, sealed off world portrayed in the ‘The Ballad of Googletown’ – an eerie, genuine ballad, where the familiar tropes and refrains of ballad are hung out to dry – lives are lived online and social interaction is unnecessary:
The cars are in the drive
And the bees are in the hive
They say the kids are safe inside
In Googletown
This new book promises, as Joseph O’Connor has written, all those things ‘we go to Mary O’Malley for: truthfulness, seriousness, playfulness, too, and then a particular sort of hesitating and hard-won wisdom, a pushback against nonsense or sentiment or fakery, the beauty of plain words placed in careful order, carefully – and always, the bliss of musicality.’

Hardcover. Signed by the Author. John Creedon is a renowned storyteller. Following on from the sensational success of An Irish Folklore Treasury, here he seeks to capture the folklore of his own childhood. This Boy’s Heart is set in a city-centre household bursting with humanity, with a cast of a dozen children and another dozen adults, including beloved aunts, an American writer, an African doctor and a Scottish bookie. The streets outside are teeming with brewery horses, Christian Brothers, beat clubs, dance halls, a Turkish Delight shop -- and a pub where a child could sit up on a high stool and smoke his cigarette in peace. Summers are spent farmed out to friends and family in the countryside, with hilarious tales of donkey derbies and cow chases. Set in wildly contrasting worlds — from urban exotica to spacious meadows, from the classroom of fifty boys to the open road — these stories of friendship, fun, family and folklore take you on a heart-warming journey into an Irish childhood.

Hardcover. In the course of a twenty-year friendship, podcasters Jenny Kelly and Mairead Ronan have experienced single life, career highs, break-ups, make-ups, marriages, divorce, motherhood, death, diets, hair styles, stress, ageing, lifestyle dilemmas, sadness and lots and lots of good times too. Of a middling age, and after years of talking (and cups of tea), they no longer sweat the small stuff. What We Know Now is full of their down-to-earth advice on the serious (and sometimes funny) business of life. Inspired by their own life experiences, Jenny and Mairead share their failures, successes and mess-ups. They share how to navigate the ebbs and flows of proper grown-up friendships, to what it means to be in a relationship and how to read the signs of when to move on, to how to stop worrying about having it all and figure out what it is you actually want – as well as essential truths, like why you will never have Pocahontas hair and that’s okay, the joy of a deep clean and the noise of a spray mop, and how staring at trees can make you happier than owning a Mulberry handbag. What We Know Now! doesn’t claim to solve all your problems, but it will provide good company, give you a good laugh, and help you feel less alone through the unavoidable ups and downs of life.
