Doireann Ní Ghríofa at the Limerick Literary Festival 2023

Doireann Ní Ghríofa is a bilingual writer. Written on the rooftop of a free car-park in Cork, her prose début A Ghost in the Throat has been described as “powerful” (New York Times) and “captivatingly original” (The Guardian). It won the James Tait Black Prize and Book of the Year at the Irish Book Awards, while the US edition was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and a New York Times Notable Book of 2021. Doireann is also author of six critically acclaimed books of poetry, each a deepening exploration of birth, death, desire, and domesticity.

Doireann will talk about and read from her latest work.
