Nuala's poetry collection The Juno Charm was positively reviewed on the RTE radio 1 arts programme Arena by the writer Dave Lordan.

‘This is a joyful book, a honeymoon book. It’s very affecting. She uses language to illustrate the fragility of existence, beautifully and gorgeously...It’s a book that is delicate, and also flagrant in its eroticism...These are Sheela-na-gigs of poems. There’s a very indepth, paganistic, epicurean sense of the female body as the site of pleasure in them.’

Nuala has been nominated for the 2012 Pushcart Prize for her story Peach, published in Prairie Schnooner Winter 2011 issue.

2012 will also see the release on Nuala's fourth collection of Short stories Mother America from New Island.
