Anne Casey wrote on her social media accounts:
Absolutey thrilled to share the cover of my #new#book ‘Seang (Hungering)’ which is based on my award-winning #research and #poetry exploring the lost histories of a group of rebel girls who were daughters of #Irish#famine#immigrants to #Australia.
My eternal gratitude to the literary powerhouse Jessie Lendennie, Managing Director at Salmon Poetry for her stalwart support of my work over the past 10 years. Massive thanks to Siobhan Hutson Jeanotte for her beautiful design and painstaking production work. My heartfelt gratitude to AnthonyQuinnArtist for his stunning cover #art responding to my poetry.
There are a million people to thank… my #PhD supervisors, the late Gabrielle Carey whose encouragement never wavered, Associate Professor Bhuva Narayan and Dr Penni Russon for their wisdom and support. Poets, friends, inspirations, Eamonn Wall, Sarah Holland-Batt, Judith Beveridge, Wendy J. Dunn and so many others who are named in the book. My family always. Rory Lonergan
