Meeting the Hag
Two years ago, in a cottage here, I met the Hag. I met her in the folktales of Sean O'Conaill, the storyteller who once lived there.
And since then I've been researching a body of different work related to her. I've finished one of these projects, a novella, publication details of which will be announced soon, and just finished the second, a new collection.
Just a pause now to thank the extraordinary forces that helped shape this work; four residencies granted by the beautiful Cill Rialaig, a Saari Fellowship from the Kone Foundation, Finland, and funding by an Individual Arts Bursary and Grants Under The Arts.
And the Hag.
Go raibh mÃle maith agat, Cailleach
