September/October bytes. Due to the fact we'll be homeless soon and moving to new premises there won't be much activity for a while. Still I will have the October issue of A New Ulster out this week and will be returning to work on several Lapwing books from next month. I would like to thank Vicki Mullan for her generous donation which came at a time when we were on the ropes.

The next issue will be out on Friday not going to lie the quality of the work we've read lately is impressive and somewhat overwhelming as I have to choose from these pieces, which means ultimately some won't be included I've never enjoyed that side of things.

Well I applied for funding not going to lie I really need it, I've no working computer and cannot afford to replace it I did buy a reconditioned machine but it died after three months right about when the warranty expired, without the funding I may well have to shutter both Lapwing and A New Ulster for the foreseeable future. I'd hate to have to do that.

I have applied for funding, my computer is on its last legs and I cannot afford to replace it, having no computer means no A New Ulster or Lapwing books, I have a smart phone which is ironically more powerful than my computer but I cannot edit documents or upload from it. Still here's this months issue of A New Ulster

This edition features poetry , prose as well as an essay by, Aileen Mc Girl, Holly Ward, Gerry McDonnell, Caitriona Murphy, Adele Evershed, Plamen Vasilev, John RC Potter. Keiran Beville and Karen Petersen

The next issue of A New Ulster will be out on either the fourth or the fifth this month. We're technically homeless at the moment and will be moving in September sooner if things work out well for us so time is precious right now.
