Cormac Carty lived on the island from 1945 till 1953 and his memories of those simpler times have now been printed posthumously, following Cormac’s death.
The book is almost like a collection of short stories which covers everything from starting school to journeys on a horse from the island to Knocknarea or bringing cattle to the fair.
Normally, bringing cattle would be a straightforward operation but bringing cows from Coney Island to a fair was nothing short of a very dangerous task.”
“Back then it (the island) was completely isolated and Cormac would have gone into Sligo town once a week to do the shopping and selling things he would have picked ‘The Champion’ up and without fail from cover to cover it would be read out and everyone would be listening for all the news.”

Hamlet is not only one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, but also the most fascinatingly problematical tragedy in world literature. First performed around 1600, this a gripping and exuberant drama of revenge, rich in contrasts and conflicts. Its violence alternates with introspection, its melancholy with humour, and its subtlety with spectacle.
The Prince, Hamlet himself, is depicted as a complex, divided, introspective character. His reflections on death, morality and the very status of human beings make him ‘the first modern man’.

In this contemplative short narrative, artist and acclaimed writer Sara Baume charts the daily process of making and writing, exploring what it is to create and to live as an artist. A short, elegant piece that encompasses images and is itself a significant artifact, handiwork will offer more of the beautiful prose and extraordinary versatility you’ve come to expect from Sara Baume. ‘This little book is a love-child of my art and writing practices, or a by-product of novels past and coming. It’s about the connection between handicraft and bird migration, as well as simply the account of a year spent making hundreds of small, painted objects in an isolated house. It will be my third book with Tramp Press, and I’m thrilled that they continue to support my endeavours.’ – Sara Baume
