We are on hiatus.

The launch of Dublin, Written In Our Hearts an anthology of 21st century writing on the city and this year's One Dublin One Book, commissioned by @DubCityCouncil and published by @stingingfly marks three significant milestones: - 20th anniversary of the One Dublin One Book initiative, - 20 years of The Stinging Fly Press and, - 31st book published by The Stinging Fly Press. The book is available in all libraries & bookstores. Free events in April : onedublinonebook.ie

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme." It will NEVER make sense.

Subs open now until April 9th #subsopen #submissions #submissionswelcome #poetrysubs #shortstories #fiction #WIP
