creative reflections on Healy's work, while literary critics provide a wide-ranging
foundation for future Healy scholarship. In total, over forty contributors. Writing
the Sky: Observations and Essays on Dermot Healy is a comprehensive collection of
critical essays, memoirs, poetry, and other writerly responses devoted to the life
and work of the late Dermot Healy (1947-2014). Healy was an accomplished poet, short
story writer, novelist, playwright, and editor, and so these essays and observations
address the entire range of his eclectic and exciting oeuvre. While paying due tribute
to the memory of the man himself, the collection primarily seeks to establish a series
of important critical perspectives through which Healy's writings can be properly
viewed and assessed. Contemporary writers and poets - including Colm Tóibín, Neil
Jordan, Aidan Higgins, Alannah Hopkin, Kevin Barry, Annie Proulx, Michael Longley,
Roddy Doyle, Tessors from more than a dozen countries provide insight into one of
Ireland's most powerful and unique literary voices. This collection is absolutely
crucial for everyone interested in the work of Dermot Healy and for all devotees of
Irish literature"
