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. My poem has title 'Civilisation's Golden Dawn: A Slide Show' and is composed out of specifically-written captions to old family photos of trips to Greece, with fragmen...

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 re...
