Favourites
- Emer Martin Homepage
- Author of Baby Zero and Breakfast in Babylon, Emer is also a painter and presents some samples of her work, a schedule of her exhibitions, and notes on her fiction. Keep an eye on her on-going blog.
- Slimming For The Beach
- Writer Philip Casey maintains not just one, but a whole stable of blogs and websites. His cryptically-named main blog takes an eclectic look at writing and politics, sometimes combining the two as in a limerick composed on the German ambassador's damning verdict on us Irish.
His Irish Writers Online site contains a concise dictionary of Irish writers, with short bios and links to homepages. It's a great resource for getting the basic info on modern Irish writers.
Philip is also involved in a project to set free books which have gone out of print. Irish Literary Revival Out-of-print works by eleven modern Irish writers are available here for download.
- Miranda July - No One Belongs Here More Than You
- One opening that you won't forget in a while. Actress, performance-artist and now Frank O'Connor longlister, Miranda July's introductory site for her book by the same title is definitely worth a trip.
- ZMAG
- A brilliant alternative to IndyMedia. The site incorporates Zmag, Znet, Z Media Institute and ZVideos offering a labyrinth of new and archived essays and articles, as well as up-to-date news on everything resistant and revolutionary.
- Dead Drunk Dublin
- Hosts plenty of poetry, stories, writings, digital bits and some music. Edited by Andrew Lovatt, an experimental play zone for those who can't help but push against the boundaries.
- Bloodaxe Books
- Beautifully produced poetry books, with an edge, by authors from across the globe, news, interviews, reviews, debates. Log onto this site, simply to see their collection and maybe be inspired to have a read.
- Dublin Writers' Workshop
- Some might remember the first DWW online community which ran from 1997 to about 2001. Now Nessa O'Mahony is reviving it "but in a new experimental form." "I'd like to see if we could initiate and sustain an ongoing conversation about writing, with separate threads for a monthly Electric Acorn ezine that would offer a platform for excellent writing in a variety of genres, a workshop to post work in progress and get feedback . . ."
- World Wide Arts Resources
- Super informative art database that spans the globe. Browse through thousands of multi-genre pieces including video.
