Book TitleAuthorPublisherPublishedSeptember 2026'These poems take the world’s contrasting textures as their material: hardness and softness, home and cosmos, death and life weave a text where shards of jewel-bright memory glint against spilled flows of pulsing sound. We hear a complex polyphony in which human voices from the oldest to brand-new mesh with the world’s own music.” – Ellen Dillon "Awash with Nordic and Irish light, its images witty, haunting and delicately realised, Hold Over Fire is a tremendous collection. Its crisp tensile music confirms David Toms as a vital presence in contemporary poetry." – Billy Ramsell "Here we have lament and rejoicing, echoed through cryptic fragments of songs and accounts, errors and misreadings. A bare world, pared down to its rudiments, displayed in words, rubbed and worn and made visible through others, scarcely there. The whole, radiant on the page.” – Trevor Joyce

What emerges is not just a wartime thriller, though it is that, but a meditation on how we remember, how we resist and how, even in the darkest times, humanity endures.”—Alex Preston, The New York Times Book Review

Book TitleAuthorPublisherBanshee PressPublishedSeptember 2022“Pacemaker is a rare volume, a deeply considered meditation on the heart and the stride that encompasses so much more besides. It trembles with the truth of a self, articulated with an eloquence seldom encountered. David Toms has written a beautiful, beautiful book – I loved it.” Doireann Ní Ghríofa “A work of intimacy and shimmering precision, Pacemaker is the testament of a unique mind and heart, alive to the world in extraordinary times. Toms’ prose is poetic, vital and inventive, with a lightness that makes it compulsively readable.” Roisin Kiberd “Pacemaker is a moving, beautifully-written memoir about the body’s limits, walking and hope.” Patrick Freyne “A deeply moving personal meditation on walking, health, and wellness, whose themes resonated profoundly with me and remained in my mind long after reading.” Arnold Thomas Fanning “In Pacemaker, everything slows down. Time bends. You lose sight of where you are in the world as you feel your way through David Toms’ lens. This is beautiful, sparse prose – a memoir full of honesty. At times a painful and brutal tale on what it means for someone to make their imprint, the cost of a step, and how to set a new pace within their challenging world. But ultimately, it shows how important the heart is. A powerful book, I loved it.” Elaine Feeney
