Between the Lines: Recovered Voices

New contexts can revive old plays; why can’t we do the same with books? 

Once a year, Tramp Press reprint an Irish work that has been lost to the ages, in an effort to champion neglected, forgotten, and muted voices. Join us to discover two Recovered Voices authors, Maeve Kelly, whose Orange Horses is a ferocious and witty collection of stories detailing the multilayered lives of Irish women rarely brought to the surface, and Dorothy Macardle, whose The Uninvited and The Unforeseen are masterful, bone chilling novels of the supernatural. 

Maeve Higgins—author, comedian, and columnist—and Sam Underwood (Fear the Walking Dead, Fundamental Theatre Company) will read. Caroline Heafey of Glucksman Ireland House NYU will join Sarah Davis-Goff to discuss why these brilliant voices belong back in the canon.

This reading is presented as part of our two-part event Between the Lines: Meet Dublin’s Tramp Press. Tramp Press, the award-winning Dublin independent publisher founded by Sarah Davis-Goff and Lisa Coen in 2014, is publishing some of Ireland’s best and brightest new voices, while reintroducing some of Ireland’s marginalized writers through their “Recovered Voices” series. 

We invite you to get to know these cutting edge publishers—who were famously part of the movement to make books published in Ireland eligible for the Man Booker Prize—and some of the writers they champion.

“Tramp Press has dared to think outside the box…a new voice, and indeed a new breed of Irish novel has been launched aloft”—The Guardian
