A Ghost in the Throat

A Ghost in the Throat is a story of a mutual haunting across the years, of literary inspiration and the staying power of a monumental text. But it’s also about the restoration of a woman in history, and the idea of a female text: the Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire, this book itself, and the hidden work of women—as essential to the world as history recorded, yet so often overlooked, unwritten, ephemeral.
