Delighted to see Liadan Ní Chuinn's Every One Still Here published by The Stinging Fly and Granta Books. We published Liadan in Tolka Issue One (the first thing in our first issue!) and Issue Five. You'll want to read this!

14°C in Northern Ireland: I’m out working in the garden in shorts and a T-shirt. 14°C anywhere else: They’re layering up like they’re heading on an Arctic expedition. Weaklings.
