DESCRIPTION:Susan Connolly and Máighréad Medbh\n\n\nIn Susan Connolly and Máighréad Medbh’s new collections with Macha Press\, the forming of words is a living\, breathing process.

She will perform poems from the book and reflect on the roles of history and its erasure\, embodied walking\, reading and reimagining in her writing. \nWhile this event is free\, by making one of your tickets a ‘Supporter’s Ticket‘ you will be making a valuable contribution towards keeping future events accessible and towards the sustainable growth of Dublin Book Festival. \nPlease note we may be capturing candid imagery at this event for use on our social media and website. \nSusan Connolly was born in Drogheda\, Co.

DESCRIPTION:Walking Tour with Michael Earley\n\n\nWith its beginnings in 1864\, Earley Studios grew to become the largest stained glass studio in Ireland. Aiming to exclusively serve the requirements of Catholic patrons\, the studio contributed greatly to the dominant stained-glass aesthetic of Irish stained glass in the early decades of the 20th Century. Stroll through Dublin’s colourful streets with Michael Earley\, whose new book The Stained Glass of Earley Studios:1864 – 1975 (UCD Press) looks back on the studios’ history.

He has given lectures on Irish stained glass with particular emphasis on his forebears’ studio often combined with tours of their work. His stained glass publications have been in local county and church booklets\, in blogs for ‘Arts and Crafts Tours’\, and in the annual review ‘Glass Ireland’. His book on Earley Studios is due for publication in 2026. \nTo hear first about future Dublin Book Festival events sign up to our newsletter here.
