It is a book edited by actor Stephen Rae and Irish Itinerary poet
Jessica Traynor, which “pairs writers, photographers and visual artists
in the direct provision system in Ireland with Irish artists and
writers.
The stories, poems, images and essays you’ll find here
reflect the desperation that leads to migration, the hope carried
through war and devastation, and the meaningful parallels between the
Irish experience of famine and emigration and the experience of asylum
seekers in Ireland today.
These are stories of frustration, anger,
fear, but also of love; the deep love that leads parents, siblings, and
partners to seek ‘another Ithaca’ in Ireland.”
