More DescriptionThe Book of Invasions Lebor Gabla renn is a compilation of manuscripts describing the very specific discovery of Ireland (on the fifteenth, on a Saturday) following the Creation and the Flood. The Pop-Up Book of Invasions is Fiona Farrells poetic response to a sixmonth stay in Ireland as inaugural recipient of the Rathcoola Residency for Australians and New Zealanders in County Cork. Part travelogue, part family record, part song and myth and history rewritten, this collection revels and laments in equal measure in a landscape deeply inscribed with narrative.
