Described by Bernard O'Donoghue as the leading poet writing in both Irish and English , Paddy Bushe is a committed, engaged and highly accomplished writer in Ireland’s two official languages. He is also a much admired translator from the Irish.

Double Vision presents two new books in a single volume.
In Peripheral Vision, his new collection of poems in English, he explores the relationship between seeing and vision, between the often solitary pilgrimage of the artist and the collective journey of the arts in their many expressions and forms.

Following on from To Ring in Silence: New and Selected Poems (2008), Second Sight draws attention to his considerable achievement in Irish, presenting in a dual-language format the poet’s own selection from three previous books, together with his own English language translations.

Together, these two books offer a comprehensive and timely overview of the work of one of the most significant of contemporary Irish poets.
