The title for this anthology comes from a poem by contributor Shannon Connor Winward. "The Ballad of Molly Malone" is a well-known Irish pub song about a young woman who sells cockles and mussels from her street cart. Winward's reinterpretation of the song adds detail to the story, and takes it in a much darker direction.
