In the Middle of March

 

J.S.'s review of Oisin Breen's experimental, vibrant and musical "Lilies on the Deathbed of Etain and Other Poems" is available to read in the High Window.

At the Beginning of February

The High Window has published J.S.'s review of Maeve McKenna's debut solo pamphlet, A Dedication To Drowning, work which J.S. describes as "taut, intense, vibrant poetry that embraces the rawness of everyday living".

Did You Miss It?

J.S. talked to the award winning Leigh Chambers, on Leigh's Cambridge 105 Radio morning show, about
