Overview

North Star: An almost unmoving point of light. Find it and you will know your way home.

This collection of short stories and poems captures the unique voices of forty-five Northern Irish female writers. From mountains to lakes, from country to shore, the words resonate with the literary tradition that cloaks the land and infuses each of our souls.

My native land grounds me, keeps me in contact

with the rhythms of nature, the sound of the winds,

the call of the wild birds and the dialects of its people.
Aine MacAodha

No matter where you are reading these poems and stories, North Star will guide you home.
