So pleased to have this poem in the latest edition of the Cormorant, amongst many other beautiful pieces in the issue. It’s great to have such an interesting publication coming out of the North West.

Having received previous Arts Council funding now disqualifies you from the Agility Award. Obviously resources are limited but it’s hard to support this decision. What is out there to support artists in the massive middle ground between first agility award and a bursary?

2024 is ending on a bit of a high for me as I have a poem in Poetry Ireland Review for the first time. It is also so nice to recognise so many names in the issue as friends I’ve met through the Irish poetry community these past few years. Here’s to a 2025 full of good poems and interesting people.

I really wasn’t sure what I was at when I moved home to Ireland a few years ago, but I’ve never once regretted it. Feeling overwhelmingly grateful to the Arts Council for their support in awarding me an agility award. 🇮🇪

Morning! Submissions are coming in thick and fast - and we're delighted! - but the recent problems and glitches with *X* have also left us a little worried that we might not be reaching some wonderful writers. ... All of which is to say: if you could share far and wide, we'd be very grateful..
