THEME
We will be hosting a powerful and moving conversation with two authors as they discuss their memoirs, both exploring the importance and impact of nature on us as individuals.
John S. Doyle‘s Salt Wind, Rising Water: Planting a Wood on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Coast (Merrion Press, 2026) is a gentle and hopeful ode to nature, capturing a story of resilience, community and learning to work with the land, as John and his family transformed two wild, windswept acres on Sligo’s north coast into a thriving wood, orchard, and garden.
Eoin Warner‘s Through the Long Grass: Love, Loss and Belonging in Nature (Gill Books, 2026) is a moving memoir that begins with loss but emerges as a powerful meditation on how the natural world reflects so much of our human story. Charting Eoin’s many vivid encounters with the natural world, this book celebrates the gifts that nature gives us when everything else falls away – patience, solace and a sense of belonging.
The authors join environmentalist and documentary maker, and Patron of Green Foundation Ireland, Duncan Stewart,
in conversation.
This event is part of Dublin Book Festival 2026.
