Atlantic Fret (The Gallery Press, 2026)
‘Atlantic Fret unveils a focus, indeed a constancy of purpose, uncommon in a first collection. From the Blasket Islands in the opening poem to Iceland — the book concluding with adaptations of an Icelandic modernist classic — Stephen de Búrca embraces the idea of the Atlantic Ocean as the source of chaos from which the Cosmos grew. Against the backdrop of climate change, the Ocean shares the burden of grief while offering a space for sexual freedom and self-expression.’
