60. Emily Cooper and Dean Fee in conversation with Tim Groenland (29 May 2025)
In their conversation with Tim Groenland, Emily Cooper and Dean Fee discuss the origins of their literary journal, The Pig’s Back, designed as a Donegal-based journal with an international bent. They talk about creating not only an issue, but a beautiful object that stays in people’s minds; blurring fiction and non-fiction; bringing the many literary journals in Ireland together at the Journals Fleadh; and what being edited has thought them as writers and editors.
