[WORDS] A poem of mine has been published in the Irish literary magazine wordlegs, and I am both elated and disoriented. Disoriented because this particular piece -- about an ephemeral, lust-filled encounter prevented from blossoming -- has retained in performance the same fleeting, jazz-filled, sensual resignation as the experience that inspired it. A musical favorite, to see its words fixed in space gives it a strange and different life. For an audio version of "Champagne": http://ow.ly/AhXYS

"35 Boone Street" - Jen Gore

I am very happy to be reviewing the short story "35 Boone Street" by a wonderfully talented friend of mine, Jen.

This story is the seemingly light-hearted and well written story of Hubert, an auctioneer journalist/evaluator. It touches on things we've all asked ourselves, but comes to it in an interesting way. 

Specifically the description of Hubert, 'grey Irish skies' - instantly paints a wonderful picture of the character - and the side-note honest; if you've ever seen a grey Irish sky you'll know what she means.

I am delighted to spread the word of my friends success, one of many I am sure she will have in the future. You can read the story here, and should take a look at wordlegs in general - it's a wonderful magazine that does great things for many Irish writers!

Congratulations Jen!
