A Girl's Writing Is Never Done (c) Shauna Gilligan 2026
I’m delighted to be reading live on YouTube on Saturday, 9th May at 8pm kindly hosted by Simon and Rozz over at The Holding Cell: Writers Reading Live from Their Homes
So tune in (click above or this link), sit back, and enjoy my short reading – prose and poetry – from Duality, the publication from my collaboration with artist Margo McNulty.
Duality is available for purchase from redfoxpress on Achill Island.
In these times of restraint, lock-ins and lock-downs, it is a pleasure to revisit – albeit briefly and virtually – the exhibition Duality in which some of my writing features.
Having experienced the process of creating and working on the publication Duality, and walked through and into the exhibition, being drawn towards and inside those trees, it is enlightening to hear Margo speak of her narrative and artistic intentions. Take 4 mins, 58 seconds and enjoy this video in which Margo McNulty and Luke Gibbons speak about Duality.
With thanks to Roscommon County Council and Kildare County Council for Arts Act Grants funding.
