The licence to publish and to distribute; a free movement of ideas... the impetus to make books seems almost folly nowadays, to extend physical communication beyond national borders.

Looking forward to my #Story THE WORKSHOP in gorse 14: 'Multitudes'. The issue is nine #pamphlets and an editorial to accompany. I was rejected TWICE by this lit journal prior! My offering is a story within a story, in a creative writing workshop, facilitated by a narky tutor with mean pen strokes.

Issue 14 (Oxen of the sun, gorse theme: Multitudes) will be announced very soon, with pre-order details. It's a special issue that breaks form and the notion of what a literary journal should look like. In the meantime, enjoy a picture of Jacob Elordi reading James Elkin (as featured in g12).

It's 8 p.m. & we turn the page to the Nausicaa episode of ULYSSES, we'd like to wish you an eventful #Bloomsday. And a reminder, each issue of gorse mirrors the 18 episodes of the book. We published 12 (Cyclops, gorse theme: language) and 13 (Nausicaa, gorse theme: Taboo) earlier this year.

Submissions for Gorse 15 close this Friday. Have a goo below at the chosen theme! My Mrs complains that people don't always look at the theme, though interpretation is loose as a rabbit in July. It's an 'experimental' literary journal, which obviously means the writing should do just that! #Brazen

'For anyone drawn to questions of language, identity and what it means to live with depth rather than certainty, New Green Fool is a book of quiet beauty and real, lasting value.' Thanks to Adam Wyeth for this review of NGF in the Irish Times: www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

New Green Fool by Alan Cunningham: A book of quiet beauty that circles Irishness without trying to possess it

At the book’s core is an ongoing dialogue with Patrick Kavanagh’s The Green Fool

Over the course of thirteen interconnected essays, in New Green Fool Alan Cunningham considers the potential for foolishness in setting one's identity – or identities – far too strongly in any direction.
