Belfield Literary Review No. 1

The inaugural issue of Belfield Literary Review, co-published by University College Dublin (UCD) and Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), is now out and it includes my original poem 'Hoax'.

Belfield Literary Review has grown out of the creative writing community at UCD and it is edited by Paul Perry. As Perry writes in his editorial, the journal "aims to represent the excellence of its activities and outreaches in creativity," and it is "particularly interested in the interface between critical and creative work, hybrid texts, and the experimental."


Issue 1 - titled 'New TransAtlantic Dialogues' - is guest-edited by Gregory Betts and Lucy Collins, and consists of work from a fusion of Irish, Canadian and Indigenous writers predominantly working in the avant-garde, and who participated in the combined conferences The Writer's Voice and text / sound / performance convened at UCD in April 2019.

My poem 'Hoax' was originally written in response to the score for 'Hox', an original composition by Barry O'Halpin which premiered at text / sound / performance with Lina Andonovska on bass flute and Matthew Jacobson on drums.

'Hoax' is also one of the four previously unpublished foundational poems in the four-way experimental-procedural project Transcription Factor that I undertook in collaboration with Gregory Betts, Chiamaka Enyi-Amadi and Julie Morrissy - the end result of which was published as a limited edition chapbook by Derek Beaulieu's No Press in 2019 to coincide with text / sound / performance. More details on Transcription Factor here. The other three foundational poems by Gregory, Chiamaka and Julie are also published in Belfield Literary Review No. 1.

The issue is being launched online through Museum of Literature Ireland on Thursday 29 July at 7pm (Dublin time). Individual copies of the issue and subscriptions to the journal are available directly from the MoLI shop.
