Susanna Galbraith’s Morsels, published by Macha Press in 2025, has a voice as fresh and daring as it is assured and elegant, experimenting with erasure, structuralism, and folk tales.

Nithy Kasa’s How to Make Love to a Colonised Body, published by Doire Press in 2026, addresses our relationships, both personal and political, playing with language and testing the Irish lyric.

Susanna is from Belfast. Her first book MORSELS was published by Macha Press in 2025. Her poems have appeared in Poetry Ireland Review, New England Review, Propel and elsewhere. She was a selectee for New Voices: North 2025 and Poetry Ireland Introductions 2023 and is an editor of Abridged.



NITHY KASA was one of the ten poets selected for Poetry Ireland’s Poetry as Commemoration project. She features on the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation website, the University of Galway’s Archive, UCD’s special collections and others. She received the Poetry Ireland Commission 2020, with the support of an Arts Council Grant and was shortlisted for The Eavan Boland Emerging Poet Award 2021. Her debut collection, Palm Wine Tapper and The Boy at Jericho (Doire Press 2022) was selected for the Arts Council’s Read Mór programme, listed amongst the top poetry books of 2022 by The Irish Times and was shortlisted for the Listowel Writers’ Week Piggot Poetry Prize. Flight Feathers, Nithy’s second collection, will be published in autumn, 2025.
