Agenda

“Two in One” is a captivating collection of short stories that brings together the distinct voices of two brothers, John and Liam Liddy. One brother transports readers to the streets of Limerick, Ireland, where local characters and traditions come to life in vivid detail. The other takes us to the sun-soaked avenues of Madrid, where a canine companion becomes the beating heart of each narrative.

Liam Liddy was born in Limerick, Ireland. His poems, prose and translations have been published in Ireland, Spain and elsewhere. He was co-editor of The Stony Thursday Book/Cuaderno de Madrid. His novel Limerick Junction was published in 2004 (Dossat, Madrid). He translated Enrique García Hernán’s historical work Ireland and Spain in the Reign of Philip II (Four Courts Press).

John Liddy, was born in Youghal, County Cork, grew up in Limerick. He has published thirteen Poetry books, a collection of stories for children and edited an Anthology Commemorating The Limerick Soviet of 1919. Liddy has translated poems to and from English, Irish, and Spanish and edited Vietnamese poets. He is currently editing a special issue of Irish language poets with poets from Macao for The Hong Kong Review.
