‘An Mhurúch san Ospidéal’ by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill
An Mhurúch san Ospidéal Dhúisigh sí agus ní raibh a heireaball éisc ann níos mó ach istigh sa leaba léi bhí an dá rud fada fuar seo. Ba dhóigh leat gur gaid mhara iad nó slaimicí feola. ‘Mar mhagadh atá siad ní foláir, Oíche na Coda Móire. Tá leath na foirne as a meabhair […]

Affixing the Imprimatur, queer art and blasphemy in Cork.
Wherein the definition of art and who gets the imprimatur? I find myself at a loss regarding how the problem of blasphemy is being discussed in Cork. There has been no art-historical analysis of queer art, there has been little media reference to the issue of the 2006-2009 Defamation Bill, and discussion on one political site […]

‘A Cold Coming’ by Tony Harrison
The poem A Cold Coming was first published in protest against the First Gulf War. It was re-published on February the 14th 2003. It is by the magnificent anti-war writer and poet Tony Harrison. This morning I am hoping that other routes to global understanding are sought. It feels like a whole generation of kids […]

“Angels of the Love Affair” by Anne Sexton
‘Angels of the Love affair, do you know that other, the dark one, that other me?’ 1. Angel of Fire and Genitals. Angel of fire and genitals, do you know slime, that green mama who forced me to sing, who put me first in the latrine, that pantomime of brown, where I was beggar […]
