Here's the Story

Ireland has a vibrant literary scene, and Dublin-based Liberties Press publishes some of the country's most exciting writers. Here's the Story includes extracts from nine novels, two short-story collections and three books of poetry recently published by Liberties Press. Here's the Story was published by Liberties Press in association with Solas Nua, the only organisation in the US dedicated exclusively to contemporary Irish arts, including film, music, literature, visual arts and theatre. Paperback copies were distributed for free by Solas Nua to readers in Washington D. C. on the 10th Irish Book Day, 17 March 2015. Within Here's the Story are extracts from novels by Jan Carson, Kevin Curran, Jason Johnson, Joe Joyce, Billy Keane, Caitriona Lally, Joe Murphy, Daniel Seery and Tara West, as well as short stories by Barry Reddin and Lane Ashfeldt, and poems by Moyra Donaldson, Gabriel Fitzmaurice and Michael D. Higgins.
