I was delighted to have my poem Rotten Apples accepted by Abridged for their recent issue 0 – 26 Rust. I’ve admired the art work and poetry in this magazine for some time now and, although I couldn’t make it along to the launch last Thursday in Belfast, I hope to be a part of it again and hopefully make that trip next time.
Over recent issues Abridged have published great poetry by the likes of Gerald Dawe, Kate Dempsey, Olive Broderick, Eileen Casey, Kevin Graham, Peter Goulding, David Mohan, Geraldine Mitchell, Helena Nolan, Nuala Ní Chonchúir, Afric McGlinchey and many, many more.
Please take some time to read the current and back issues at Abridged Online and admire the visual art as much as the poetry. Rarely do you see a publication that is so ambitious in its aim and so consistently beautiful in its essence.
The submission call for the next issue of Abridged 0-28 Once a Railroad will go out very soon. Keep an eye on the website and send on your best work.
Nice one, Brian! I had a story there years ago. Is it poetry only these days? Might try them.
Thanks Valerie! Yea, all poetry now, check out the back issues – some really good stuff in there I think.
