Irish Poetry Reading

Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin's clean, uncluttered lines sing out from the page. Their simplicity is altogether deceptive, however; her propositions are enigmatic, and from her earliest poems we are invited into a fairytale world of ransoms and mysterious tasks....There is an unease beneath every moonlit silence.
There is an erotic charge to much of Paula Meehan's work which, to borrow a phrase, "lays beneath the surface of conventional sexuality like a reef below water." Her poems are sensual both in her handling of ideas and in her handling of the words which convey those ideas.
