“In the west of Ireland, they say that ‘the next parish over is America.’ It’s said jocularly, but of course there’s truth in the joke. The Irish and the Irish-American are an ocean apart, but it’s an ocean that unites as well as separates. We sing much the same songs: of exile and cunning, of rebellion and betrayal. But we sing them in different accents, with different cadences. It makes new music over here.” –Patricia Monaghan, from her introduction
Fifty-seven Irish-American writers–including poet Tess Gallagher and prose writer Sheila O’Connor–are brought together in this lyrical collection. The result is a vivid and stunning insight into what it means to be Irish in America today.
