SUMMARY:Milena Williamson Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:  \nNo Alibis Bookstore is delighted to announce an evening with Milena Williamson as we launch her debut poetry collection ‘Into the Night that Flies So Fast’. Join us for what is sure to be an unforgettable event. \nBook your FREE ticket here \nhttps://www.ticketsource.co.uk/no-alibis-bookstore-ltd/t-vvkajdv \n \n  \nIn Into the Night that Flies So Fast\, the debut\ncollection of poems from Belfast-based Milena\nWilliamson\, the speaker journeys to the small County\nTipperary village of Ballyvadlea\, to investigate the life\nand death of Bridget Cleary\, in 1895 burned to death\nby her family on suspicion of being a fairy changeling.\nFusing docupoetry and true crime\, travelogue and\ndrama\, the book introduces a compelling cast of\ncharacters as the ill-fated Bridget\, her family and\nmembers of her community all come onstage to give\ntheir versions of events. In the ‘Interval’ of this play for\nvoices\, the speaker herself draws back from Bridget’s\nstory to reflect on her own new life in Ireland\, on the\nrelationships and journey that have brought her to\nthis interrogation of one of the darkest episodes in\nIreland’s past. \n  \n“In this shape-shifting narrative\, not only do we meet Bridget Cleary\, the woman inside the poet’s head\, but we are also given a startling glimpse of how aspects of Cleary’s story reverberate into today; of other voices that will always be an absence. A brilliant debut.”—Moyra Donaldson \n“A lyrical gymnast… ” —Rosamund Taylor \n  \nMilena Williamson is from Swarthmore\, Pennsylvania and has lived in\nBelfast since 2017. She has a PhD in poetry from the Seamus Heaney\nCentre at Queen’s University Belfast. A recipient of the Eric\nGregory Award\, she published her debut pamphlet Charm for\nCatching a Train in 2022 (Green Bottle Press). Her writing about\nBridget Cleary has been supported by the Arts Council of Northern\nIreland and the Ireland Chair of Poetry.
