Delighted to contribute to Prof Christina Morin and Prof Ellen Scheible's special issue on Irish women's genre fiction in LIT. My article explores techno-colonialism, feminist mobilisations of the 'Fantastic' & constructions of M/Otherlands in Griffin's sf novel & Chaila's fantasy-inflected music.

Thanks to the organisers of IASIL 2025 for such a rich conference. I delivered a paper on DH methods that help analyse how mythopoeic structures are replicated in contemporary feminist texts & took part in a roundtable on "Irish Women's Genre Fiction", based on an upcoming special issue in LIT!

"Quare Éire: An Anthology of Neo-mythmaking" has now launched at the following link: quareeire.wordpress.com
It was unintentional, but as artist and "Quare Éire" contributor Yvonne Salmon noted earlier today, it is fitting that the anthology launches on Lughnasadh, the Celtic festival of the harvest

None of this would be possible without Quare Éire's incredible contributors. I'm very excited to share their incredible work at the end of this month!

The website is currently under construction & "Quare Éire: An Anthology of Neo-mythmaking" will launch at the end of July! The anthology received incredibly rich submissions & will include a vibrant collection of poetry, short stories, personal essays, artwork, a song, a comic strip & more!

Unfortunately, I had to miss what looked to be an amazing launch last night, but delighted to be included in the latest issue of Ragaire Magazine. Huge thank you to the editors and my fellow contributors.

Thanks to the wonderful editors of The Martello Journal for curating (& including me) in their issue, Ragin'. The world is indeed burning ...

my poem asks what we can in spite ... or to spite a climate of hate on our doorsteps.
