	New: To Keep the Light Burning: Reflections at the time of loss by Anne Hartigan, with a foreword by Victoria Glendinning, is published by Salmon in November 2008. This new book of poetry and prose was written to help to those experiencing loss and grief. The poems included have been read at funerals; burials and cremations. These are writings for now, when many need a different way to express their loss (and may not necessarily choose a religious ceremony) linked with the traditional ways we in Ireland cope with grieving and honour our dead.

	Nourishment Nourishment was launched at The Irish Writers Centre in Dublin. Poet Michael Coady gave an introduction. Anne also read from Nourishment earlier at the Dublin Writer's Festival 2005. These poems are a treat for the senses and present Anne Hartigan as undoubtedly one of the most talented voices in contemporary Irish poetry. - Luz Mar Gonzalez Arias, Universidad de Oviedo, Spain Essential nourishment indeed: for this is what it is to be fully human, to rejoice in the radiant dance of one's body with another's, and to sing soul to soul. Her rhythms spring from the page, re-inventing themselves with echoes of chants and prayers and charms. These poems reinvent and rewrite the erotic before our eyes, and 'rinse and wring the ear' with their sure emotional intelligence and compassion. - Catherine Byron, poet.

	A long poem set in the Irish landscape at the mouth of the Boyne River. The poem moves backwards and forward in time, exploring the fortunes of those who lived there, people, animals, birds, and the eternal presence of the land, river and sea. It was recorded and broadcast by RTE radio (produced by David Warner) some years ago with a cast of actors and music by Eibhlis Farrell. I've had the pleasure of reading this poem accompanied by friends and family many times. The cover image is a ink sketch I made to illustrate the book. Read more about this book here

	My first collection. In times past it was said there were marks by which you might know a poet, one of which was a extra long tongue. However, if a woman was a poet these traits were double!
