Only two editions in, with no. 3  on the way any day now, this stylish print journal has already established itself as one of the leading literary journals on the Irish landscape and beyond. This is thanks to the unique vision and tireless efforts of its editor, Susan Tomaselli, who honed her tastes and skills at 3:AM Magazine and 3:AM Press, and elsewhere, and perhaps also to an appetite readers and writers had for something else, something that challenged and excited us and made us think. But don’t take my word for it; have a look at some of the gorse no. 3 excerpts: Therese Cox, Andrew Gallix, (interview with Deborah Levy), Michael Naghten Shanks, and Joanna Walsh.

And forgive my lack of modesty, but with no small thanks to an Ekersberg painting, my own piece, misleadingly entitled Selfie, is looking good. (Ed. points out that an authentic ‘selfie’ appears in  the print version, which you can and should pre-order now if you want one of the numbered copies, and just so you don’t feel left out in cutting edge lit discussions over the coming months. Just saying.)
