Here, Mark Lawson looks at an early work from Nobel prize winner Orhan Pamuk and was struck at how the author has consistently worked 'close to contentious politics and history'.

WEDNESDAY:
"In Giscombe’s hands, the emancipation of narrative dissonance becomes a means of emancipating himself—and, if we are attentive, us—from the kinds of narratives about race that perpetuate old inequities. And in using dissonance as a means of addressing race, he’s bringing to his poetry an attitude long-established in African-American music: As Duke Ellington once told a journalist for whom he played some of his recordings, “That’s the Negro’s life... Hear that chord! Dissonance is our way of life in America”http://www.thevolta.org/inreview-mainpage.html

Poetry Bus 5 has secured funding for it's fifth print issue. An international literary magazine which publishes short stories, poetry, artwork and criticism as well as a cd of music and spoken poetry. Poetry Bus is becoming one of those magazines which you'll want to say you were involved with.
"The Poetry Bus has probably published more first time poets alongside well known ones than any other magazine. Now in its fifth incarnation with undoubtedly the best issue yet,(just wait til you see it!) it is perfect bound with full colour illustrations (including a graphic short story!) from amazing artists and crammed with poets new and not so new!
We have a truly eclectic selection of poetry from Irish and international poets regardless of age, sex, nationality, friendship or standing. The Poetry Bus continues to offer opportunities for all equally and never forgets that it was created to provide a top class showcase as well as a level playing field. This ethos remains vitally important to us."The Poetry Bus runs an open fb group which you can join and keep in touch with their shenanigans:
