Books - Colette Bryce

The M Pages

'...an important book about love, fear, self-censorship and the limits of our knowledge, and what we can and cannot say about some of the most profound events we face.'

Selected Poems

'Selected Poems draws together the best of Colette Bryce's highly acclaimed collections.'

The Whole & Rain-domed Universe

'an extraordinarily clear-eyed, vivid and sometimes disturbing account of growing up in Derry during the Troubles, with many ghosts both raised and laid to rest.'

Self-Portrait in the Dark

The dark attunes our eyes to detail the light can sometimes conceal; similarly, Colette Bryce’s new poems are ‘slant tellings’ that reveal strange and true reflections.

The Full Indian Rope Trick

'This second collection – the title poem already the winner of the 2003 National Poetry Competition – sees a leap forward in confidence and range, with Bryce's dark lyric and darker wit finding many different voices.'

The Heel of Bernadette

Colette Bryce’s first collection is a book of songs: songs of kinship and desire, Ireland and Spain, of myth and belief.

The Observations of Aleksandr Svetlov

Octogenarian Aleksandr Svetlov keeps life simple these days, warding off loneliness with quiet routines and the company of his old cohort, Konstantin, or his young friend, the verse-writing bookseller Mikhail.
