On this day 2 yrs ago, Ireland voted to Repeal its oppressive law on reproductive rights. 1 yr later, @coeurdelilas and I, with @sadpresspoetry, published this poetry collection in celebration and remembrance. 1/

The collection was designed with the purpose of archiving the poetic response to this moment, and as a reflection on the joy of progress, and despair at what it took to get there. 2/

The poetry we collected is of the moment. It& #39;s powerful and raw. Our poets found a language for things that were long consigned to the inexpressible @edarcydesign @AliceEKinsella @atarbuck @sarahmaintains 3/

The collection is part of a literary response to the Repeal movement. @UnaMullally& #39;s Repeal the 8th Anthology is a sister publication, with writings from @sineadgleeson @WeeMissBea, Anne Enright, Tara Flynn and more. 4/
