Join us for contributor readings, conversation and connection as we celebrate the launch of The Stinging Fly’s Summer 2024 issue. We’re excited to once again share with you 240 pages of the very best fiction and creative non-fiction alongside bold and startling poetry selected for the first time by our new poetry editor, Annemarie Ní Churreáin.

We are proud to bring you voices from Mexico, the USA, China, the UK, Australia, and Palestine, as well as the best new writing from the island of Ireland. With pieces inspired by protest in Palestine, the queer roots of professional wrestling, celestial bodies, misbehaving small appliances, dessert, death and marauding badgers, this issue, and launch event, is for every reader who seeks challenging, moving and vivid writing.

Funds raised from this event will go to the Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders emergency fund. MSF delivers essential medical care in conflict zones, and through natural disasters and epidemics. It has worked in Palestine since 1989.

Presented in partnership with The Stinging Fly.
