From James Joyce’s Dublin to Colm Tóibín’s transatlantic landscapes, Irish literature has always travelled—carrying with it the textures of place, the ache of distance, and the resilience of memory.

On Bloomsday, as readers gather from Dublin to Washington, D.C., and far beyond, that tradition feels especially alive.

As Ireland celebrates Joyce and the global reach of its literary heritage this month, internationally acclaimed writer Tóibín reflects on what it means to inherit, challenge, and reshape that inheritance.

From Dublin to D.C., Irish stories travel well. ☘️📚🌸

As we look ahead to Bloomsday this June 16th, we celebrate not only James Joyce, but also the wider tradition of Irish writers who have carried Ireland’s literary voice far beyond its shores.

More chapters to come—stay tuned for some exciting programming around the District this month! In the meantime, here are some Irish books we recommend in bloom.

“I present this bowl of Shamrock in memory of all the brave Irish men and Irish women who came here and who believed in the American promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; in tribute to all they contributed and built here; and in celebration of all that we will do and achieve together in the next 250 years.” - Taoiseach Micheál Martin 🇮🇪🤝🇺🇸

The iconic Shamrock Ceremony was a fitting close to a memorable St. Patrick’s Day in Washington, D.C. From the White House to Capitol Hill, the strong and enduring ties between our nations continue to grow. Sincere thanks to President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson, and the Congressional Friends of Ireland Caucus for their warm welcome and continued commitment to the Ireland–U.S. partnership.

Ireland and the United States share a rich history and a relationship strengthened by investment and innovation benefiting both our economies.

Ireland not only serves as a gateway to the EU for US businesses but is also the fifth largest global investor in the US today, driving job creation and supporting local economies in all 50 states.

This St. Patrick’s Day, we highlight the remarkable Irish contribution, not only to the foundation of the USA, but also to its political, economic and social development over the past 250 years.
