WORDS ON A WIRE: Nuala O'Connor

 *Rebroadcast from Sept 13, 2015* 

  Daniel Chacon and Tim Hernandez talk with author Nuala O'Connor, who also writes as Nuala Ní Chonchúir.  Her latest book, MISS EMILY, re-imagines the life of famed poet Emily Dickinson and her interactions with her Irish domestic, Ada Concannon.  Nuala explains her fascination with Dickinson (down to her baking prowess), and explains why she wanted to keep this fictionalized version of Dickinson true to her real life character.  http://www.nualanichonchuir.com/
