In all our years of doing this, we have never been stumped like this. This woman, Margaret O'Donnell, wrote one book, THE BEEHIVE (1980). We've tried everything to find her estate. It's like she's a ghost, like she never existed. Anyone who can help us trace her wins a prize.

Many thanks to Lianne O’Hara for reading her poems for inclusion and preservation in the Irish Poetry Reading Archive.
Discover her poetry readings, and much more, on the UCD Special Collections YouTube channel at youtube.com/playlist?list=….

'Tell them there was never a child.
Say they were never there.
There was never a home
or the found, easy measures of a family.'
