'Thin Places': Kerri ní Dochartaigh in conversation with Sinéad Gleeson.

On the publication day of this breathtaking mix of memoir, nature writing and history the Irish Literary Society brings together Kerri ní Dochartaigh with Sinéad Gleeson to discuss Kerri's story of a wild Ireland, an invisible border, an old conflict and the healing power of the natural world.
In 'Thin Places', a mixture of memoir, history and nature writing, Kerri explores how nature kept her sane and helped her heal, how violence and poverty are never more than a stone’s throw from beauty and hope, and how we are, once again, allowing our borders to become hard, and terror to creep back in. Kerri asks us to reclaim our landscape through language and study, and remember that the land we fight over is much more than lines on a map. It will always be ours but, at the same time, it never really was.
