Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel
Ellen Dillon

'Oh Townes, thinking is tiring,’ writes Ellen Dillon. Thinking is tiring, it’s true! But Dillon’s way of thinking is invigorating and this collection ultimately rings out with so many truths, with so many gorgeous and infectious thoughts, with lines like, ‘Haunting is / a second life,’ and, ‘The quiet revolutions of loneliness are a politics.’ Through the use of stunning and carefully thought-out form, and via a complicated addressee — Dillon superbly delves into the deepest parts of the self. She understands supremely that ‘avoiding what happened doesn’t make it go away.’ Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel absolutely reverberates with rhythm, with song. (Loisa Fenichell)

Who Fears to Speak
1eurofiddy

During a transformative period in Irish history, Who Fears to Speak is a project which hones in on the experience of the young people from the republican stronghold areas of The Bogside and Creggan, County Derry, exploring how ideas of republicanism shape their lives and identity. The project looks closely at two specific traditions, Easter Rising commemoration and The Internment Bonfires, alongside the landscape of the areas. The zine includes a foreword by author and journalist Caelainn Hogan, who attended these events with Clodagh to gather the opinions and aspirations of some of the young people photographed.

In the good seats: Essays on film

In the good seats: Essays on filmis a collection featuring some of the most talented writers working today, setting their sights on what’s so alluring and moving about film and cinema. A childhood movie encountered on the big screen, a favourite celluloid instant, a resonating discovery, an awkward first date; the threadbare seats, the click and whirr of the projector, the sense of scale expanding.
