Granta on the Irish writing scene

We joined Sarah Davis-Goff of Tramp Press and Amy Herron from the Irish Writers’ Centre to talk about the Irish writing boom with Joanna Walsh for the Granta podcast. Topics discussed: #repealthe8th, the legacy and value of literary journals (including Patricia Avis Murphy and nonplus), risk-averse publishing versus independent presses, smart readers, the resurgence of Irish women writers (Maeve Brennan, The Long Gaze Back), poets as Presidents, and new Irish writers to look out for.
