Abstract
Ed Madden’s contribution to this special issue is a creative response to themes of the Irish gothic, including four poems from his most recent book, A pooka in Arkansas (Word Works, 2023) and a new poem written explicitly for this volume. The poems offer a creative engagement with themes that animate Irish gothic representation (otherness, repression, authenticity, sexuality, threat) in relation to both sexual and ethnic identity, as well as a specific focus on the folkloric figure of the pooka/púca.
