Join author Kevin Toolis in March as he shares insights from growing up on a remote island, where engaging with the dead and dying was part of everyday life.

Drawing on his later years reporting from warzones, Kevin weaves together the philosophical and the practical, finding in the ancient rite of the Irish wake a roadmap for our most existential questions.
