"a beautiful memoir about her loss of a truly irreplaceable mother--yes, it is sad, it is in fact heartrending, but it is many things more: courageous, inspiring, wonderfully intelligent and informed, and an intimate portrait of an American family"--Joyce Carol OatesJoin us for an evening with celebrated poet and critic Meaghan O'Rourke, for the paperback launch of her recent memoir The Long Goodbye. O'Rourke will be joined in conversation by IAC PoetryFEST and Dublin's DLR Poetry Now curator Belinda McKeon.The Long Goodbye chronicles the author's path through grief after the loss of her mother to cancer at age fifty-five. Recording the endeavor ultimately bloomed into a profound look at the fleeting moments of joy that make up a life and the way memory can lead us out of the jagged darkness of loss.Meghan O'Rourke began her career as one of the youngest editors in the history of The New Yorker. She has served as en editor for Slate and The Paris Review, and her essays, criticism, and poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Nation, Vouge, and more.
