Without offering solutions or resolution the poems in Mud Angels grapple in their original ways with themes of love, displacement and injustice. Often they pitch art for art’s sake against the hard realities of political and social discrimination and the growing alienation felt by a humanity struggling to save its planet. The sometimes intensely private tone is matched by a deep compassion for others and a skilful appreciation of the beauty of the natural world.

Together and individually these poems help us to appreciate better the vulnerability of the individual in the face of political inequality and social trauma; the transitory nature of cultural and artistic expression; how love can persevere despite everything; how memory is often all that matters, and is sometimes all that’s left.

The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
