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. 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...

Dubious Lists

Though I sometimes indulge in them - see below - I’m not a huge fan of end-of-year lists. Some things take longer to sink in and their significance understood than others. I don't just mean the appreciation of volumes of poetry or films or music, but also events in one’s life, writing or otherwise. It’s not always possible to readily ascribe value or meaning to what has been experienced. More to the point, turns of years can operate as welcome breathers and a chance to step back and see the wood instead of constantly just individual trees. Flitting from task to task and from project to project can have the effect of relegating to the backs of our minds what we really are doing it all for. What this writing business is all about. One or two potent disappointments notwithstanding, 2012 was good to me. It's seen a rise in appreciation of what I do; there was a new book, reception of which has been positive; I did many readings and performances, and took part in discussions, pr...

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. (In 2022 Fallow Media produced and released my project  sorry that you were not moved , a longform digital poetry collaboration with Kimberly Campanello, which The Arts Council of Ireland profiled  as a groundbreaking work of digital literature.) fallow 03   also features work from Hélène Bessette (trans. Kate Briggs), François Bonnet (in conversation with Ian Maleney), Mira Mattar, Philippa Snow, Adrian Duncan, Katerina Gogou (trans. Konstantina Georganta), Alice Blackhurst, Charlotte Buckley, a...
