A recent winner of the 2009 Davy Byrnes Irish Writing Award, Keegan, originally from County Wicklow, has published two collections of short stories, Antarctica (1999) and Walk the Blue Fields (2007). Her previous awards include The Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, Macaulay Fellowship and the William Trevor Prize. HoCoPoLitSo’s 2006 Irish writer Anne Enright calls Keegan’s work, “Perfect short stories.”
Ms. Keegan’s reading will be followed by Narrowbacks, Eileen Korn, Jesse Winch, Terence Winch, Linda Hickman, and Brendan Mulvihill on fiddle in a concert of traditional Irish music with stepdancers from the Culkin School.
