The Red Crystal Nebula - Alison Maxwell. Read by Deirdre Monaghan

Alison Maxwell lives near Maynooth and is a graduate of UCD's MA in Creative

Writing.

Her book, 'Jammet's ‑ the only French restaurant in Dublin', due out in October, is a feast of food, wine, anecdote, romance, elegance and excellence ‑ a unique slice of Dublin life from 1900 to 1967 below and above those treadworn stairs.

Published in *The Cork Literary Review*, *Poetry Ireland*,* Galloping On*, *The

Book of Maynooth* and *Under Brigid's Cloak*, her work was translated into Russian for *New

Generation*.  

She featured in Poetry Ireland’s *Introductions Series* and was a finalist

in the BBC's

Tony Doyle New Writers’ Bursary Award.  Alison is a member of The Stephen’s

Green Workshop, Dublin and The Gateway Group, Maynooth.
