Michael Augustin is a German poet and artist with strong links to Ireland. Mickle Makes Muckle, a collection of poems translated by Sujata Bhatt was published by Dedalus. Ad Infinitum, a trilingual collection of his poems, translated by Gabriel Rosenstock and Hans-Christian Oeser was published by Coiscim. Five volumes of his visual poetry were published by Redfoxpress on Achill Island.

The Milk Stand . . . is an abandoned altar by the roadUnwanted by whatever god, A staging post for emptiness and rust, A place where the past is held in trust. Outside this gate you might have heardA lorry as it slowed and throttled backAnd stopped; then the clank of churns transferred Echoes preserved in the solid block.

Peter Denman is retired from teaching in Maynooth University. His poems have appeared in periodicals in the UK and Ireland. Publications include Sour Grapes (Ulsterman Publications), The Poet's Manual (Sotto Voce Press), and Epigrammata (Astrolabe Press).
