What ghostly traces do poets leave behind, and how do we curate their legacy? Dr Katie Mishler speaks to poet Vona Groake, Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Manchester, about the life and writing of MoLIâs resident ghost, poet and Jesuit Priest Gerard Manly Hopkins. In 1884, Hopkins became Professor of Classics at University College Dublin, and lived and worked in Newman House, now the home of MoLI, until his death of typhoid fever in 1889 at the age of 44. As an Englishman, Hopkins felt lonely and isolated in Dublin and at the University, where he worked extremely long and grueling hours. Out of this misery, however, he wrote some of his most celebrated poetry, the âterrible sonnetsâ, so-called because of their expression of pain and isolation. His poetry also expresses queer desire that is at odds with his faith. By visiting MoLIâs hidden corridors, including the Hopkins bedroom that Groake curated in the 1990s, the two discuss Hopkinsâ enduring contribution to poetry, his difficult life and death in Dublin, and whether or not he haunts the halls of MoLI.

Vampires, ghosts, and the undead have an enduring cultural legacy. These uncanny figures inform, or perhaps infect, depictions of the body, maternity, and sexuality in contemporary Irish womenâs writing. This panel discussion, recorded live in MoLIâs Old Physics Theatre, led by Dr Katie Mishler and featuring Sarah Davis-Goff, Doireann NĂ GhrĂofa, and Sophie White, uncovers how the gothic monstrosities of Bram Stoker and others continue to be a powerful metaphor for social anxieties, marginalisation, and historical erasure.
Sarah Davis-Goff is co-founder of Tramp Press, which publishes the Recovered Voices series, re-publishing a lost Irish classic once a year, with a bent towards speculative fiction. In 2019 her own novel Last Ones Left Alive was published in the UK and Ireland by Tinder Press, and in the US by Flatiron. Last Ones Left Alive was nominated for the Edinburgh First Book Prize and the Not-The-Booker Prize, shortlisted for an Irish Book Award and the Kate OâBrien Award, and won the Chrysalis Award. She lives in Dublin.
Doireann NĂ GhrĂofa is a poet and essayist. Her prose dĂ©but A Ghost in the Throat was awarded the James Tait Back Prize for Biography, and described as âpowerfulâ (New York Times), and âcaptivatingly originalâ (The Guardian). Doireann is also author of six critically-acclaimed books of poetry, each a deepening exploration of birth, death, desire, and domesticity.
Sophie White is a writer and podcaster from Dublin. Her first book, a memoir-cookbook work, Recipes for a Nervous Breakdown (Gill 2016) was shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards. Her second book and first novel, the bestselling, Filter This (Hachette, 2019) was also shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards. Her third book, Unfiltered (Hachette, 2020) was described by Marian Keyes as âsuch fun â gas, clever stuffâ. Her fourth book and second work of non-fiction is the bestselling essay collection, Corpsing: My Body and Other Horror Shows published by Tramp Press in 2021.
