Eamon Loingsigh (pronounced similar to “Lynch”) is an Irish-American novelist and poet whose family emigrated from Ireland in the late nineteenth century. His grandfather and great-grandfather ran a longshoreman’s saloon on Hudson Street in Manhattan from 1906 to the late 1970s, and that family history runs through much of his fiction. He was born in New York and now lives in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Loingsigh’s major work is the Auld Irishtown trilogy, published by Three Rooms Press. Light of the Diddicoy (2014) introduces fourteen-year-old Liam Garrity, who arrives alone in America and falls in with the White Hand gang on the Brooklyn waterfront. Exile on Bridge Street (2016) continues the story, and Divide the Dawn (2020) closes the trilogy with a dark tale set in 1919 Brooklyn as gang wars erupt during an influenza epidemic. The trilogy was shortlisted for the Langum Prize for American Historical Fiction.
Beyond the trilogy, Loingsigh published the novella An Affair of Concoctions (2009), the poetry collection Love and Maladies (2010), and the young adult novel Chin Music Rhubarb (2021), a coming-of-age baseball story set in 1980s Florida. He has also written numerous articles on Irish-American history.
