I have long admired Skylight 47 magazine.

The journal had its origins in Galway City’s “Over the Edge” reading series and, since 2013, it has been publishing high quality poetry, fiction and criticism from across the world. It was an honour for me to have my first appearance in Skylight 47‘s issue 16 (Autumn/Winter, 2022). My poem is entitled “theres no future for them mate” (caps and punctuation intentionally omitted) and revolves around some rather naïve predictions my narrator made in the mid-1970s about the likely survival of video games.
