Straight Outta Ireland

The St. Patrick's Day holiday is often larded with a kind of “shamrockery” or “paddywhackery” that makes some of us cringe a bit. You know -- the mugs of green beer and those big "Kiss Me I'm Irish" buttons and t-shirts. Instead of overcooked corned beef and cabbage, Read650 acknowledges the holiday with four rich personal stories reflecting the lived experiences of Irish and Irish-American writers—individual perspectives, presented with an emphasis on craftsmanship from Anthony Murphy, Malachy McCourt, Edward McCann, and Colin Broderick.
