'She was born into nobility. But with times changing, will she be allowed to marry beneath her station?'

Looking forward to this 👇

“Sideways To The Sun” was an enchanting track from #Horslips ’ flawless #BookOfInvasions 1976.
It’s a stop-you-in-your-tracks track with its gooey-eyed beauty! The magic of its beguiling spell carried, with majesty, to the live sets. Check out the BoxSet!

It's not to late to book a seat for the TheStormsJournal launch
this Sunday at St Audoen’s Church, Dublin.
I'm still recovering from round 2 with #COVID19 so can't be there but I wish the best to all those travelling to take part.

A shoutout to issue 3 contributor Annick Yerem ⭐️

The Storms is a printed journal of #poetry #prose & #visualart

We are delighted to feature her poem, Your Smile A Cathedral, in the new issue, due out end of October.

This issue’s theme is
Shelter / Sanctuary / Sanctum

Very happy to be a Stormer again for issue 3, with a photograph! Photograph also has my dog Bella in it and she's told me that she's glad to be there (she had a wee bit of professional jealousy about editor Yogi at Sidhe Press 😂).

I'm thrilled to be in issue 3 of TheStormsJournal
My copy has just arrived and it truly is a thing of beauty. Get yours at eatthestorms.com/the-storm-shop/
