Published: Algebra of Owls

It’s been a very quiet year for me in terms of getting poems published; rejection after rejection after rejection. Therefore I was relieved to finally get something published after almost 6 months in the popular web-based journal Algebra of Owls. The poem, Apple, is not a particularly new one but I never managed to get […]

The Tricky Second Collection

Some exciting news – at least for me – Doire Press will publish my second collection in late 2019! Jewtown will have a new sibling, which has been brewing for the last few years and is nearly ready to unleash. My aim is to make the poems I’ve written a lot better, yank out the […]

Jews in Irish Literature

I had a fantastic night in The Bloomsbury hotel for the Irish Literary Society event on the representation of Jews in Irish literature. It was great to join Ruth Gilligan and Barry Montgomery again to talk about our respective works.

Published: Hodges & Figgis Anthology

I’m featured in this special anniversary edition of the Hodges and Figgis anthology with over 200 other writers. I have a poem in there somewhere about Emrys, less than a minute after he was born, called Apgar Score. I’m very grateful to Alan Hayes from Arlen Press who was kind enough to ask me to […]
