Books for Breakfast
64: Summer journals, Tessa Hadley, Noel Monahan
On today's edition, the last before our summer break, we look at new editions of Poetry Ireland Review and The Stinging Fly. We feature recordings of three poets published in Poetry Ireland Review: Valentine Jones, Patrick Chapman and Shakeema Edwards, and we also feature a poem by Gormfhlaith Ní Shíocháin Ní Bheoláin from The Stinging Fly. Enda discusses the novels of Tessa Hadley, who also has an. essay in The Stinging Fly, and we travel to Cavan for the launch of Noel Monahan's ninth collection, Journey Upstream, published by Salmon.
