Our one and only Lorna Shaughnessy–poet, translator, researcher, editor–was recently interviewed by Chris Tanasescu (Margento).
Lorna has published five poetry collections, Song of the Forgotten Shulamite (Lapwing, 2005), Torching the Brown River (Salmon Poetry, 2008), Witness Trees (Salmon Poetry, 2011), Anchored (Salmon Poetry, 2015) and Lark Water (Salmon Poetry, 2021) and is currently working on her New and Selected Poems. She has translated four volumes of Mexican and Spanish poetry and co-edited A Different Eden: Ecopoetry from Ireland and Galicia (Dedalus, 2021).
