Join us with Eoghan Walls in conversation with Lucy Caldwell and Suzy Feay at Waterstones Islington on 7 May, 6:30pm GMT.

Join us with Lucy Caldwell and Eoghan Walls, in conversation with Suzi Feay, to discuss their latest books, Devotions - a transporting and profound story collection of love, grief, longing, new beginnings, and the ways we find shelter in each other - and Field Notes from an Extinction - a fast-paced, funny and tender story of one man’s growing humanity amidst famine and extinction.

Born in Belfast in 1981, Lucy Caldwell is the author of four novels, several stage plays and radio dramas, and three previous collections of short stories. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2018, she was also the editor of Being Various: New Irish Short Stories in 2019, and has won the E. M. Forster Award, from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Walter Scott Prize among others.

He won an Eric Gregory Award in 2006, and his poetry has been shortlisted for multiple international awards, including the Bridport Prize and the Manchester Poetry Prize. He has published the first major translation of Heidegger’s poetical works and currently teaches creative writing at Lancaster University. Eoghan's debut novel The Gospel of Orla was published to acclaim by Seven Stories Press UK in 2023, and is currently being adapted for film. Field Notes From an Extinction is his second novel.
