Irish Women's Prison Writing

Mother Ireland’s Rebels, 1960s–2010s

By: Red Washburn

This book explores 50 years of Irish women’s prison writing, 1960s–2010s, connecting the work of women leaders and writers in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. This volume analyzes political communiqués, petitions, news coverage, prison files, personal letters, poetry and short prose, and memoirs, highlighting the personal correspondence, auto/biographical narratives, and poetry of the following key women: Bernadette McAliskey, Eileen Hickey, Mairéad Farrell, Síle Darragh, Ella O’Dwyer, Martina Anderson, Dolours Price, Marian McGlinchey (formerly Marian Price), Áine and Eibhlín Nic Giolla Easpaig (Ann and Eileen Gillespie), Roseleen Walsh, and Margaretta D’Arcy. This text builds on different fields and discourses to reimagine gender and genre as central to an interdisciplinary and intersectional prison archive. Centering Irish women’s prison writings, in order to challenge canonization in history and literature, this volume argues that women’s lives and words offer a different view of gender and nation as well as offer a fuller and more inclusive archive of Irish history and literature. Additionally, this book will point to the ways in which their politics of everyday life and their cultural work is a form of anti-colonial civil rights feminism, for it speaks truth to power in a world in which compliance and silence are valued. Overall, this text focuses on rethinking and recasting women’s voices and words in order to document and promote the ongoing Irish freedom struggle from an abolitionist feminist perspective.

The Long Journey--Persevere

Let Kindness and Goodness Do the Rest

By: Marlowe Red Severson

As a discontented sixteen-year-old high school dropout working at menial, low-paying jobs, it is only natural that Ron should fall in with bad company. When robbery and murder enter the picture, Ron's life turns tragic, as he is incarcerated in Minnesota's Bridgewater Prison, a modern correctional facility employing a variety of humanitarian techniques to prepare prisoners for a successful return to society...

The Red Wheelbarrow 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY ISSUE

By: Red Wheelbarrow Poets

It's hard to believe, but it has been ten years for The Red Wheelbarrow, the Rutherford, NJ anthology that has done so much to boost the poetry of the tri-state region and create a nexus of poetic energy around the birthplace of famed poet Dr. William Carlos Williams. This is our biggest and best book to date, bursting with poetry, prose and artwork and epitomizing Williams' beliefs that a poem is a machine made of words and the epic is the local fully realized.Since Williams was a baby doctor we often get asked if we were delivered by Dr. Williams. Our answer? Not yet, but we're getting there!
