Elaine Feeney: The Possibilities of Art

Irish poet, novelist and playwright Elaine Feeney returns to the Book Festival to discuss her new poetry collection, All the Good Things You Deserve, with Zoe Venditozzi. Her powerful poetry juxtaposes the tyranny of violence and shame with beauty and the transformative possibilities of art. Ultimately, Feeney asks: how can we love, trust, and create in the aftermath of trauma?
