An ordinary man is forced to confront both his own demons and the manifestation of the supernatural beyond his comprehension and control Jeremy Furlong is a successful businessman, whose life has been carefully constructed from layer upon layer of lies. That is until now, when he is confronted by the trapped poltergeist spirit of a dead boy in the squalid flat he using to have an affair. The Passion of Jerome premiered at the Peacock stage of the Abbey Theatre in February 1999.

'Taking My Letters Back' combines a selection of the best of Bolger's early work (often in freshly worked versions), along with two dozen poems written throughout the '90s which were never before been collected in book form. Combining poetry of lament and celebration, ghost voices and love poems, 'Taking My Letters Back' completes the missing piece in that tapestry which has been the work of one of Ireland's most distinctive writers of the late 20th century. ""Perhaps only an Irish poet could risk the seeming sentimentality of such an attitude, and perhaps only an Irish poet would have the craft to make such an attitude reflect honest idealism rather than warm and fuzzy wishful thinking.""-Booklist

( An Irish emigrant in Germany tells his son about footba...)
An Irish emigrant in Germany tells his son about football, and about home, through nostalgia for a match played many years ago. This is the story of Euro '88, the largest football event on the continent, and the Irish team are front and center. The excitement is high for football fanatics like Eoin, Shane and Mick, all working abroad. Supporting the Irish team in Germany, they witness the highs and the lows and the cultural divides that separate fans. For these emigrant friends, home is no longer a birthplace. Home is where their team plays, and there will be many adventures on and off the field before the final whistle blows. Included in this first Open Door is ""A Poet's Notebook,"" a selection of short poems about ordinary life by the author, with his notes on how they were written. The Open Door Series: Originally designed to promote adult literacy in Ireland, these original stories from best-loved authors and new voices showcase some of our best writing in short fiction.
