Rear-View Mirror
Poems inspired by the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service. Commissioned by Paul Muldoon with poems by Frank Ormsby, Emma Must, Paul Muldoon, Medbh McGuckian, Nick Laird, Seamus Heaney, Stephen Connolly, Ciaran Carson and Jean Bleakney.
As part of the Seamus Heaney HomePlace Opening Year Programme, 12 Months 12 Books, artists in all art forms responded month by month to each of Seamus Heaney's twelve poetry collections starting with Death of a Naturalist in October 2016. To celebrate the completion of the cycle in September 2017, Seamus Heaney's close friend, Paul Muldoon, was invited to curate a weekend response to the final collection, Human Chain. Rear-View Mirror is part of that response.
"The idea of a human chain as 'a line of people formed for passing things quickly from one site to another', often as part of a rescue mission of the kind undertaken every day by the Ambulance Service, lies behind not only Seamus Heaney's Human Chain but each and every poem collected here." Paul Muldoon
Published by Poetry Ireland in partnership wtih Seamus Heaney HomePlace and DoranBrowne Arts Programming & Consultancy.

Stoney Road Press • An Post • Poetry Ireland
To celebrate the centenary of the 1916 Rising, Stoney Road Press, in association with An Post and Poetry Ireland, are pleased to announce the publication of '16', a limited-edition, fine-press collection of poetry and art.
Poetry, more than any other art form, is intimately connected to the events of Easter 1916. Three of the executed signatories of the Proclamation - Pádraig Pearse, Thomas McDonagh and Joseph Mary Plunkett - were recognised poets of their day, who had used their poems to espouse the cause of revolutionary nationalism. The author Peter Costello, in his 'The Heart Grown Brutal', says of them: “They gave themselves to the great theme of their poetry, the cause of Ireland, and made the Rising not merely a political event but also a poetic creation.” In contrast to this assessment of their literary importance, Pearse, in a moment of humorous self-effacement, is reported to have said that, should the Rising fail, “If we do nothing else, we shall rid Ireland of three bad poets.”
For '16', Poetry Ireland has invited four contemporary poets to present their own responses to the Rising and its aftermath. These works are by: Harry Clifton, Vona Groarke, Paula Meehan, Paul Muldoon. In addition, Stoney Road Press has commissioned four limited edition prints by the following Irish artists: Michael Canning, Alice Maher, Brian O'Doherty, Kathy Prendergast.
