Tara Bergin on Eilish Martin's ! ALL'ARME / ? AND WHAT... IF NOT: ‘the letter on the page becomes more than just a conventional symbol – it becomes material / a gorgeous 'something’... while the page itself becomes ‘space as invention’, to quote that great formal innovator Georges Perec.'

Macha Press is delighted to announce the publication of CROWD WORK by Dublin writer Sam Furlong in May of this year. Radically amatory, this debut performs the body’s wanton poetries. Re-making forms, it renders explicit the means by which ‘Through breaking, we are made.’ photo: Kate Lawlor
