Irish Writing

Winter-evening cold. Our backs might never warm up but our faces Burned from the hearth-blaze and the hot whiskeys. . . As green sticks hissed and spat into the ashes And whatever rampaged out there couldn’t reach us, Firelit, shuttered, slated and stone-walled.

Inspired by Anna Burns win, here's a list of some other great books from NI I recommend. Featuring @rosemaryj77 @WednesdayErskin @ClaireAllan @SSCav @berniemcgill @JanCarson7280 @NoAlibisPress @sheenawriter @paul_mc_veigh @michaelehughes @ACNIWriting 746books.com/2018/10/18/rec…
