A Girl's Writing Is Never Done (c) Shauna Gilligan 2026
I’m delighted to have my poem “Some Thing” in Washing Windows III: Irish Women Write Poetry. This poem takes a look at an imagined experience of an older Irish woman in the War of Independence and is told from the point of view of her son. Thank you to editors Alan Hayes and Nuala O’Connor for selecting my poem.
Purchase Washing Windows III: Irish Women Write Poetry from Books Upstairs.
