Literary journal shows it has pulling power

Winter Papers, the literary journal edited by Kevin Barry and Olivia Smith, was launched, or re-launched, on Saturday in Cork.

Among the journal’s contributions is an essay by Eimear Ryan about camogie and hurling and a sense of place. And other matters.

The whole journal is worth reading, but this jumped out at me, from the deft analysis of the ‘This Is Major’ minor hurling commercial to the longing for a county medal.
