The Elysian

The Elysian: Creative Responses brings together established and emergent writers from Cork's vibrant literary scene. Poets, fiction writers and essayists direct their creative lens on what is now, at least vertically, Cork's standout architectural edifice. The result is a fascinating glimpse into the imaginative culture of Cork over, and now in some ways, beyond, the period of the recent economic crisis. This collection includes some of Ireland's most accomplished contemporary writers, including Doireann Ni Ghriofa, Conal Creedon, Thomas McCarthy, Mary Morrissy, Madeleine D'Arcy, Patrick Cotter, and Ailbhe Ni Ghearbhuigh.
