‘It’s not often you pick up a book and feel within five pages that this is what you’ve been waiting to read your whole life’ wrote Philip Terry in The Guardian, reviewing Martina Evans’ latest book, The Coming Thing.
A ‘mind-spinning’ narrative poem that follows a young woman’s life amid the punk scene in 1980s Cork, The Coming Thing was named the Times Literary Supplement Book of 2023.
For fans of her writing this will come as no surprise. Over the last 30 years she has published 12 books of poetry and prose, all widely acclaimed (American Mules, her previous collection, won the Pigott Prize in 2022), and we’re thrilled to welcome Evans to Kilkenny to explore her work in conversation with Olivia O’Leary.
