New short story

April 2021, Doire Press

“We’re not *mean* to her or anything. But it’s hard for us not to roll our eyes at each other or make faces when she gets all dorkishly excited during our agri-tech class, like learning about techniques for soil regeneration is super-cool and not basically about dirt and chemicals. This one time she actually says, ‘I want to be a farmer when I grow up’, like we don’t all know that it’s a dead industry and all this stuff in school about ways of ‘reversing climate change’ is pretty much like Santa.”

‘Girls Will Be…’

Very very pleased to have a new short story in Empty House, a climate-change/crisis/catastrophe anthology of poetry & prose edited by Alice Kinsella & Nessa O’Mahony, published by Doire Press, officially launching on April 22nd (Earth Day) & linked in with Friends of the Earth, Ireland.
