Join us for a glass of wine to celebrate the launch of our newly published anthology of dementia-inspired fiction. Will include short readings by Paul McVeigh and Chris Wright

Newly commissioned short stories that explore and represent the lives of those living with dementia. While the vast majority of dementia narratives feature very specific types of the disease and a narrowly defined type of character, A Little Unsteadily into Light embraces and interrogates the depths and breadth of the dementia experience across ethnicity, age, class and gender, sex and consent. These new stories by some of the best writers from Ireland and the UK will provoke conversations and provide an honest and diverse insight into this important topic which impacts so many people.
