Mairéad in Máirtín Ó Cadhain’s short story “Floodtide” & Eilis from Colm Tóibín’s “Brooklyn.” As young women, daughters, wives, & neighbours, they navigate their returns to Connemara & Enniscorthy, in very different historical moments, with a mixture of nostalgia, naivety, regret & ambivalence. 3/4

It was an absolute delight to host this wonderful poet (and person) at KNI. Victoria & I first met in 2007 when we both became Irish Fulbrighters, afflicted with imposter syndrome but excited for the next adventure. So very, very thrilling to follow her work & now have her share it at Notre Dame!
