In this issue, Katie Oliver creeps around a decaying hotel in Kerry. Jenny Browne gives the reader a series of visual poems made in/on the book Ulysses, combining techniques of erasure and collage, along with an eighteen-episode lyric essay.
Jane Clarke and David Stephenson take up residence on Bray’s promenade (not literally), creating imagery, poetry and prose from things seen and overheard. Susannah Dickey responds to the Array Collective’s IMMA exhibition. Caelainn Hogan reports on Han Hogan and Dónal Fullam’s video game about the housing crisis.
In a conversation and two short essays, Sam Coll and Jess Raymon adjudge Dublin’s toilet graffiti. Caroline Bergvall responds to Sandy Kennedy’s film poem At Sea. Between the deep and the surface. Between the immensity of blue-green underwater and the brightness of sparkling daylight. Between catching oneself and floating into oblivion.
Also included: Poet Eoin Roger’s forays into the Art of Comics. The great white shark, Nature’s perfect killer, 28,000 teeth, but can it open a pickle jar?
