Outline of Annual Research Achievements

In this second year of the research project, the focus has been on the intensive accumulation of notes and the drafting of articles, rather than on time-consuming trips to international conferences, and this has allowed a clearly-defined plan for a monograph to take shape. Work has been done on the preparation of two articles for submission to Irish studies journals, one a general introduction on engagements with the themes of famine and hunger by Irish poets in the twentieth century (an article which would be the introductory chapter for the monograph), and a second article on the role of hunger in Seamus Heaney’s Station Island. Upon the reception of positive feedback from these articles, a monograph proposal will be submitted, primarily to publishers in the UK and Ireland.
