The Basil O’ Flaherty is an interesting newish on-line journal run out of the US by J.K. Shawhan. In the best tradition of small literary journals it was established by a writer wanting to create outlets for the sort of writing and artwork she was interested in – 30 years ago it would have been gestetnered or photocopied, these days it is a free online journal.
Along with its normal editions The Basil O’ Flaherty is also devoting sections to feminist poetry and poems in translations. It will be interesting to see how these sections develop over the coming months.
My two poems in the current edition can be found at http://thebasiloflaherty.weebly.com/mark-roberts.html. While you are there you can check the archives for my prose piece ‘red’ which was published in the first edition back in March 2016 http://thebasiloflaherty.weebly.com/archives5.html
