Artist Feature 

Interview with Writer, Mary O'Donoghue



Irish writer Mary O'Donoghue moved to Boston five years ago, looking for a 
change of scene and the luxury of anonymity that a new city could offer.
Having 
since authored two collections of poetry, published in numerous periodicals 
and anthologies, and won a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Grant in 
fiction, it seems unlikely Mary O'Donoghue will stay off the radar in Boston
for 
much longer.
