Edna O'Brien chose John Ryan's memoirs as her Observer Book of the Year in 1975, describing it as 'a fine and loving account of literary Dublin in the golden fifties, which purrs with life and anecdote'. This classic evocation of the period 1945-55 celebrates a city and its personalities – Brendan Behan, Patrick Kavanagh, Myles na gCopaleen (Flann O'Brien), as well as Pope' O'Mahony, Gainor Crist the original Ginger Man, and others – a remarkable group who revitalized post-war literature i...

This, Johns fifth book of poetry, is an indication of what happens when a writer is passionate and dedicated to his craft. A full-time writer in his retirement, John enjoys every moment, but suffers from Writers Block more often than not. I work myself too hard sometimes he says, I work through the night when the Muse is about (!) and read voraciously. I can spend days agonizing over apparently trivial words, but it has to be right John travels regularly to family in South Africa, Germany,...

As the first two books of poems published by Chipminka clearly showed, John has experienced severe mental problems due to a savage sexual assault and rape. This volume shows the therapeutic and cathartic value of the act of writing in overcoming such problems. This is a good example of attention to the daily habit of creativity. John, in this volume, clearly demonstrates how writing has transformed a series of major personal problems into opportunitiesabove all, the opportunity to transfor...

This is a collection of poems created at odd moments, day and night. This is the seventh in a series that began a number of years ago when John was savagely raped in the workplace. The book means so much to John. There is a constant sense of pure delight and fascination with words in this. John here distils his own idiosyncratic sense of the word and the world he finds himself in.

This, the fourth book of poems in the series, is the follow-up to Rosetta. John felt that as this is the aftermath of three books published, Aftermath as a title is self-explanatory. It comes from someone born in Ireland in 1947, exiled since 1967, John is now retired and writing full-time. There is no inherent logic to the placement of individual poems: they were, at the time of writing, responses to everyday situations, written there and then.

This new book contains the most up-to-date and focused description of the applications of Clifford algebras in analysis, particularly classical harmonic analysis. It is the first single volume devoted to applications of Clifford analysis to other aspects of analysis. All chapters are written by world authorities in the area. Of particular interest is the contribution of Professor Alan McIntosh. He gives a detailed account of the links between Clifford algebras, monogenic and harmonic funct...

Sixth in the series, this book is by no means the last John says. As long as the fascination with words stays with me, I shall continue my dedication to improving my verbal self-worth. The Muse has been kind to me, in spite of my bipolar state (due to being raped in the workplace some years ago). Writing has been so very therapeutic since that awful day. Such is my dedication that I work through the night most nights. I greet the dawn in my small study and long for the day when Writers Blo...

Positioned within current ecocritical scholarship, this volume is the first book-length study of the representations of plants in contemporary American, English, and Australian poetry. Through readings of botanically-minded writers including Les Murray, Louise Glück, and Alice Oswald, it addresses the relationship between language and the subjectivity, agency, sentience, consciousness, and intelligence of vegetal life. Scientific, philosophical, and literary frameworks enable the author to...
