Winner of The Barbellion Prize 2021
Sharing stories of myths, legends and ancient bogs, a deaf child and her grandmother experiment with the lyrical beauty of sign language.
Learning to communicate through their shared love of trees they find solace in the shapes and susurrations of leaves in the wind. A poignant tale of family bonding and the quiet acceptance of change.
'In a strong year for Irish writing, the standout was the poetic What Willow Says by Lynn Buckle.'
Rónán Hession, The Irish Times Books of the Year 2021
-- Rónán Hession'What Willow Says is undeniably brilliant, potentially both disorienting and reorienting to a non-deaf audience, which is really what I think the best writing about all sorts of experience ought to be.'
