Abstract

This essay explores the legacy of the Irish Famine and the research and writing process behind Cherry Smyth's poetry collection Famished (2019). It examines particularly the legacy of trauma and shame from the dehumanising aspects of famine and British colonialism. It also details Smyth's collaboration with a musician and vocalist to present Famished as a live performance.
