The Burning Bush 2 interview

In the lead up to its sixth issue, Burning Bush 2 has been running a series of short interviews with some of its previous contributors. Writers including Afric McGlinchey, Kevin Higgins, Kimberly Campanello and Dave Lordan have responded to a list of questions from BB2 editor Alan Jude Moore, with these interviews appearing on the magazine's website at a rate of two to three per week.

With one writer still to come, my own responses to these questions were published today.

gorse no. 2

The second issue of gorse , a wonderful print journal of literature edited in Dublin by Susan Tomaselli, was published last week and includes a new long poem of mine. gorse publishes high quality work in the form of essays, fiction, interviews, poetry, variations of these and much else. It's distinguished by top production values with beautiful cover art, extended knowledge of and interest in a diversity of writing traditions and movements, an experimentalist thrust, cosmopolitanism and wit combined with seriousness of attention, and an interrogative outlook - a confluence of dimensions generally lacking from other Ireland-based journals. Issue 2 also includes work by Claire-Louise Bennett, Matthew Jakubowski, Rob Doyle, Colm O'Shea, SJ Fowler, Dylan Brennan and Lies Van Gasse among others.
