Description
ON A RESEARCH TRIP TO BELFAST a few years ago, an acquaintance introduced me to a new Irish poetry press. After reading a few volumes, I quickly realized that the Summer Palace Press had to be shared with a far wider audience than my students and colleagues in New Orleans. The Summer Palace Press, based in Kilcar, less than ten miles west of Killybegs in County Donegal, was founded and co-directed by Joan and Kate Newmarm. Mother and daughter moved to Donegal in 1996and published the first volume of poetry, There is a House by Ruth Cart, in 1999. Joan and Kate are both poets, both teachers of creative writing, and, like most of the authors in this press, Ulster poets, closely connected to the cross-border province. Although Summer Palace Press is based in Donegal, both women have close ties to Queen's University, Belfast, and to the cultural life of the City and the province. Joan Newmann was born in County Armagh; she has served as Writer in Residence at both the Verbal Arts Centre of Derry and the Northern Ireland Arts Council. Kate was born in County Down and educated at the Friends' School, in Lisburn, just outside Belfast; Kate went on to read English at King's College Cambridge. Later, she was a junior fellow at the Institute of Irish Studies at Queen's where she compiled the Dictionary of Ulster Biography (1993). She is a member of the Word of Mouth writing collective, a selection of whose poems was published by Blackstaff Press in 1996. Kate's first collection of poetry The Blind Woman in the Blue House was published by Summer Palace Press in 2001.
