Banshee Press: Independent, Innovative, and Irish

Join Solas Nua and Georgetown University's Global Irish Studies for a series of eclectic readings by three acclaimed Irish writers, followed by a panel discussion.

Bebe Ashley's Harbour Doubts was featured as part of Solas Nua's Irish Book Day, and has been described as "a feeling-full exploration of language as a poultice, if not an entire remedy, to loneliness."

Eimear Ryan's award-winning memoir The Grass Ceiling brings the reader into the world of camogie, and was hailed as "A book which will very soon be acknowledged as a classic of Irish sportswriting."

Jessica Trayor's New Arcana, praised as "inventive and visceral" and "desperately tender"  is a hymn to the loss of a friend told through the lens of Tarot and Tim Burton, and is currently shortlisted for the Pigott Prize.

Each of these writers are connected by their work with Banshee Press, an innovative Irish Indie Press publishing the best in new Irish writing. Don't miss this opportunity to gain an up to the minute insight into the Irish literary scene.
