fallow 03

The opening eight pages of my new long poem 'Hallucinations' are featured in the third issue of fallow  (spring 2026). fallow is a biannual journal of literature publishing in Dublin, edited by Ian Maleney and Maija Mäkelä. It is produced by Fallow Media , a literary publisher and digital platform founded by Maleney in 2015 to support and promote adventurous, ambitious work from across the artistic spectrum. It is distinguished by an exploratory, international outlook.

After a long gestation period, I'm very pleased to share that issues 12 and 13 of gorse   are now available. gorse No. 12 is predominantly concerned with Language and Translation, and I'm delighted to be including in it poetry from Ray Malone , Silvina Ocampo  in translation by Caitlin Newby , Jérémie C. Wenger , Sujatha Menon , Martin Jackson , and Ghazal Mosadeq . Some of these poets have been waiting a long time for the release of the issue featuring their work, and I thank them particularly for their patience. Issue 13 is themed around the notion(s) of Taboo, with poetry contributions from Michael Chang , Viviana Fiorentino , Will Fleming ,  Özgecan Kesici-Ayoubi , and Lianne O'Hara .
