Join us as we celebrate the launch of The Stinging Fly’s Summer 2023 issue. We’re excited to share with you 240 pages of the very best new fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry, from writers like Anne Carson, Jean-Baptiste Del Amo, Louise Hegarty, John Kinsella and Jessica Traynor.

With this issue, we’re proud to bring you innovative and exciting work from home and abroad, including from France, Argentina, Canada, the UK, Lesotho and Australia. Enjoy contributor readings, conversation and connection, and help us raise a toast to 25 years of The Stinging Fly. All are welcome!

Funds raised from this event will go towards Threshold, which helps prevent homelessness by providing free advice to people in housing difficulty and campaigning for a fairer housing system.
