In this episode we hear from Liam Harrison and Catherine Hearn, two of the editors of the literary journal Tolka, on the occasion of the publication of its tenth issue. They tell the story of how they founded the magazine and we discuss their editorial tastes and processes, formal experiments in nonfiction, and the place of literary journals in contemporary Irish literature.
This conversation was recorded live as part of MoLI’s First Friday series.
Books and their Makers is a podcast series on RadioMoLI exploring the stories behind the books we read. It features conversations with authors, editors, publishers, agents, and translators, and highlights the many crucial behind-the-scenes activities and workers involved in bringing writing to publication.
The series is presented by Dr Tim Groenland, School of English, Drama and Film, UCD, and supported by the project The Publishing Infrastructures of Contemporary Anglophone Literature, funded by Taighde Éireann / Research Ireland.
