We are excited to announce our spring podcast featuring Victoria Kennefick discussing Egg/shell and its stunning monologues which explore heartache from miscarriage alongside heartbreak from the dissolution of a marriage. As she discusses how she explored a "sense of fragmentation" and the uncomfortable "gooey bits in life" she dives deeper into how she has achieved such intensity within her bold poetic voice.
Victoria Kennefick grew up in Cork and lives in Kerry. In the follow up of her debut collection, Eat or We Both Starve won the Seamus Heaney First Collection Poetry Prize and the Dalkey Book Festival Emerging Writer of the year award. Likewise, it was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize, the Costa Poetry Book Award and the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry. Listen here
