Four Thousand Keys, Linda McKenna’s second full-length poetry collection 'explores themes of dispossession, dislocation and life on the margins between history and story. Combining archival sources, myth, family stories, ekphrasis and the voices of people from the past, the poems deal with the pull of ancestry and its emotional hinterlands, motherhood and ageing, exile and rootlessness, interspersed with moments of acceptance and hope for the future'.
In The Movie Of Her Life, Claire Hennessy’s adult fiction debut, 'is a work of edgy, voice-driven short stories that go to dark places with gut-wrenching honesty few writers can master. Haunted by the gap between what they imagined their lives would be and what they really are, the characters in Hennessy’s stories grapple with unspeakable longings and quiet devastation.'
In conversation with award-winning Cork, and fellow Doire Press author, Madeleine D’Arcy.
