In today's episode, Róisín Ingle is joined by three of Ireland’s newest authors, Michelle Gallan (Big Girl, Small Town), Niamh Campbell (This Happy) and Rachel Donohue (Temple House Vanishing). 2020 will be a milestone year for each of these authors, as it marks the release of their debut novels. This conversation was recorded before the coronavirus outbreak, when all three women were able to come into studio and speak to Róisín about their new books and the inspiration behind them.

Today is also Poetry Day Ireland. We pay tribute to Eavan Boland, leading Irish poet and champion of women's voices, who died on Monday. Nessa O’Mahony joined Róisín to take a look back on the poet’s life and read one of her most moving works, ‘The Pomegranate’.
