Book Launch with Laurence McKeown

Laurence McKeown survived 70 days on hunger strike in 1981. This new memoir covers his time in the H-Blocks for the period 1981–1992.
In this frank, revealing and deeply personal memoir, McKeown leads us through the development of the many Pr*son struggles that followed the hunger strikes and the deaths of ten of his comrades.
This is not just a story of Pr*son struggle; it is a story of a communal life lived, a coming to terms with material conditions so as to better challenge those conditions. It is a story of flowers growing up through concrete.
Bígí linn to launch Laurence's new book at Gael-Ionad Mhic Goill in Glór na Móna as part of Féile an Earraigh 2026.
