I am not British. And that’s just one of the reasons I was surprised to get a mention in the recent Cambridge History of the British Essay (2024). You can read the essay they mention here for free on @gorsejournal.bsky.social gorse.ie/provocation-...

Eleven years ago today, we published gorse no. 1. 🪅

The cover of the first issue of literary journal gorse. A green background, with white, yellow and red typewriter keys in a jumble.
