Domenico's Gate

Domenico's Gate is the new book of poems by Simon Iredale.

The book spans all Simon's adult life and rages in topic from Oedipus to the Great Birmingham Bin Strike. Simon Iredale is one of those writers who carry great learning lightly. Follow the trail of his poems on this site and you find writing that's a great first read - but well worth extra time spent in pursuit of  the writer's mind.

In Domenico's Gate you will find a whole new set of Simon Iredale's poems. It can be found at:

Coming soon...

Poetry doesn't cease in the heart of the poet. It gestates and grows. Silence is not absence, it is meditation. The hiatus here hasn't meant we've abandoned lyric poetry. Some of those quoted on this site have finished their work. Others work to the beat of the years, not the days.

There will be updates over the next few days.
