We are Dónall Dempsey and Janice Windle, two poets in search of an audience - or rather, in search of a readership, for we have audiences for our poetry in the spoken word venues where we love to read our work. Our publishing venture is based on Lulu.com's useful services and our books are available from that site, as well as from here. On our blog you'll find videos and stories about our performances and other exploits.

Sifting Sound into Shape by Dónall Dempsey
In Dónall Dempsey's collection of poems and prose pieces he explores his process of writing poems about memory, death, loss and love. His work is inspired by his experiences as a member of a large family, as a care worker with the elderly and ill, as a carer of children and a lover of women, and as an admirer of innocence. Dónall explores his chosen themes with characteristic tenderness and humanity. With their rich imagery, these poems are meant to be heard as well as read: Dónall Dempsey is a poet who firmly believes in the aural power of words.
33 poems by the poet who has been called at various times "Ireland's greatest love poet" and "the poet of childhood."

Making a Dress out of Silence by Janice Windle
Janice Windle presents forty-five of her poems written between 2010 and 2012, in an eclectic mix of the sublime and the slightly ridiculous, which, she maintains, mirrors much of her life. Thoughtful and sometimes thought-provoking, she draws on a varied experience as artist and teacher, expatriate in the Far East and child of the mid-twentieth century. Her poems are honest, direct, sometimes funny, always constructed with the listener in mind.
This is Janice's second collection. It comprises ten of the poems published in "Antigravity" and 35 new pieces.
