In a letter to her editor at The New Yorker, the Irish writer Maeve Brennan described the emotional landscape provided by her mother:She gave me an ‘asylum for my affections’ and I learned that my affections so far exceeded her ability to understand me that she came near to drowning.In this new anthology of essays about Maeve Brennan, ten contemporary Irish writers consider the various meanings of the word ‘asylum’: an institution, a site of incarceration, a refuge and a shelter.They explore cityscapes and girlhood, mythology and folklore, loneliness and transience, the emotional impact of history and diaspora, as well as family connections to Brennan. These 'sketches' offer new and broader perspectives on Brennan’s life and the continuing impact of her work in the 21st century.Contributors include: Darran AndersonNiamh CampbellMary CreganRoddy DoyleArnold Thomas FanningSinéad GleesonBelinda McKeonÉilís Ní DhuibhneKate PhelanJessica Traynor

''Fearless in its approach to both personal and Irish history, Hennigan''s The Celestial Realm marks a brave new voice in Irish literature'' - The Irish TimesPhil doesn''t like physical affection. She doesn''t love you because you don''t exist. She doesn''t care if you have something important coming up. A busy week, a daunting appointment, a divorce, because she believes the world is going to end in the morning. Every morning.Having grown up visiting her grandmother in various psychiatric hospitals, Molly Hennigan began writing about the gaps in and intimacies of her relationship with this matriarch. Tracing the organic path of her grandmother''s experience to her great-grandmother''s time in Irish mental hospitals, she explores her own family trauma and what it means to be an unconventional woman in a society that values conformity.
