Poetry pamphlets have rhyme and reason

Having run charming, salon-style poetry readings in Dublin, the creators of the Quantum Sofa have launched their first publication — a trio of pamphlets by Irish poets.

Poetry pamphlets have rhyme and reason

The short collections are Lines on Education, by Michael O’Sullivan, Cavalries of Love, by Seán Kelly, and No Poetry, by Seán Dennehy. Hand-crafted, the pamphlets are published by the newly formed, QS Press.

“Michael O’Sullivan has been writing for many years and is a lyric poet in the Yeatsian tradition,” says QS editor Edwin Kelly. “Seán Kelly is also a lyric poet, and one of outstanding integrity. This is his first publication. Seán Dennehy, meanwhile, is a spoken-word poet who, last year, won the All-Ireland Poetry Slam championships. When placed alongside each other, the three poets are quite different, but all three embody the qualities of the press, which we see as passion and integrity and a commitment to poetry.”
