Graham Allen features in the new Poetry Ireland Review no 118 Edited by Vona Groarke, entitled The Rising Generation. This special issue of Ireland’s foremost poetry journal brings together thirty-six new Irish poets, defining “new” as  someone who has had a first collection book or pamphlet published within the last five years. Each featured poet was asked to submit two original poems and to complete a questionnaire created by the editor. One of Graham’s two poems, ‘Sydney Park, Spring 2015’ has also been selected as one of Poetry Ireland’s featured poems for Poetry Day on 28^th April.  

To download a poster of Graham’s poem go to the Poetry Ireland website at http://www.poetryireland.ie/poetry-day/free-resources/ .  Both poems featured in The Rising Generation issue of PIR are included in Graham Allen’s new collection, The Madhouse System to be published by New Binary Press in July.
