Mary and Padraic Colum: Lives and the Dream (UCD Press) is an illuminating biography of two remarkable Irish writers: Padraic, a poet and playwright whose poems are still remembered today, and Mary, an influential writer and essayist whose work is now unjustly forgotten. Join us as author Margaret Kelleher discusses her book with Laureate of Irish Fiction, Éilís Ní Dhuibhne. The conversation will explore the Colums’ lives and careers, which span the Irish Literary Revival and twentieth-century literary circles in New York, and the challenges and rewards of writing a joint biography.
