Fire: Brigid and the Sacred Feminine

 

I'm interviewed, along with my co-editor Shauna Gilligan, on the fabulous  Lia Mill's Blog today - Lia asked us about editing the anthology Fire: Brigid and the Sacred Feminine, and about our own relationship with the sacred feminine. Which is not uncomplicated!  

Its an anthology that deserves a wide readership -  full of art, poetry, fiction, non-fiction and essays from emerging and established writers and artists, that are honest, often earthy and very contemporary responses to the theme. Please share, and perhaps ask your local library to stock it - it would make an excellent book club book. Fire is published by Ireland's feminist press Arlen House. 

Shauna contributed a powerful opening essay, and I contributed art. One of the pieces is below, with the link to the interview. 

Thanks to Lia for interviewing us. The anthology is available from Kenny's in Ireland, from Blackwell's in the UK and from Syracuse Press in the USA.
