A fond farewell to my days of studying and working as an English language teacher in Ireland.
The characters, the experiences, and the places in Ireland are chronicled and immortalized in this fond kiss-off.
If you are an immigrant in Ireland and need help, you can check flac.ie free legal clinics to access free legal advise on Immigration, Employment, Family Law, and General Law, and New Communities Partnership for questions about applying for Irish citizenship. These services are FREE and CONFIDENTIAL.
Thanks to the wonderful Carol Azams we had a very nice book launch at the Irish Writer's Centre in Dublin, Ireland... The book is reviewed HERE by the Dublin Inquirer.
Available HERE through the publisher, Skyline. Official release announcement HERE. I'm very happy to announce I'm one of many talented women whose work will soon appear in an upcoming anthology of writing by Migrant Women in Ireland (brought to us by the wonderful Carol Azams).
(I'll post about it again when it's out!) My long essay "Living, Working, and Protesting in Ireland" is to appear in a compilation with my peers. I will add the link when it's available. Thank you Carol Azams!
