YOUNG IRELAND: EMISSARIES FROM A NEW LITERARY RENAISSANCE
The island that gave birth to Yeats, Joyce, Shaw, Wilde, Binchy, and countless other stars in the literary firmament now boasts a literary renaissance among the young. Appearing at Litquake for the first time will be five rising stars from the Emerald Isle, doing readings and a panel discussion on what it means to carry the torch for a rich literary heritage. Co-presented by Imagine Ireland. Featuring Magner's Cider!
