We’ve opened submissions! 12th April - 3rd May. To summarise: we’re looking for your best work, for writing that resists definition for stories & poems that strain against classification. gorse.ie/submission/

In my essay in You Spin Me Round by PVA Books I wrote about my obsession with Shostakovich and particularly Symphony No 10. I’m really looking forward to hearing it performed tonight by National Symphony Orchestra National Concert Hall

This is a cracking wee read for anyone who loves music. Even if you don’t love music it’s still a great read. PVA Books
