Description
The Irish Pages Press will always be characterized two essential and necessary components, flowing from the outstanding standards of the journal in an age of media noise and publishing hyperbole: literary content of exceptional quality, and production values (always hardback) equal to any in these is- lands. Apart from issues of finance, the sole criteria for publication by the press are the distinction of the writing and the integrity and independence of the individual voice.
About the Author
Chris Preddle, born in London in 1943, was educated at Stonyhurst, where the poet Peter Levi read out great poetry instead of Greek history, and at Oxford, where he studied Greek of all periods. He worked in libraries in the public and voluntary sectors, set up a childcare library, and has retired to a valley under the Yorkshire Pennines with Jacqueline and Sappho the cat. His third poetry collection is The May Figures(Eyewear, 2021); his second was Cattle Console Him (Waywiser, 2010). His work has appeared in Irish Pages and other Irish and English magazines. He fell in love with Sappho at school and started then to translate her. The versions and notes in this book come from 27 years of research, thought and writing.
