Among the many great contributions in issue 2 of the Bohemian will be extracts from two upcoming Wexford books; Eamonn Colfer’s “The Collected Plays” and “All of them, hipsters” by Zeff Ryder. We also have a great piece on the impact of Billy Roches writing by Richard Connelly, poems by Internationally acclaimed Wexford poet Jim McGuire and a history of the Wexford workhouse by DA Gazeley, as well as over forty other wonderful pieces of writing and artwork.
Red Books would like to thank all our contributors, Zeff Ryder for design and Colm at Practical Printers for printing.
The first issue of the Wexford Bohemian sold out in 24 hours. We have a bigger print run and are in the middle of another lockdown but we still expect to sell out issue 2 very quickly. They are already selling strongly on preorder. Once they're gone, they're gone.
We are now taking paid pre-orders for Issue 2 at Red Books. It costs €6 (or €8.90 if you require postage within Ireland). Our paypal link is paypal.me/redbooksire. We can also offer international delivery. (Just message us with details)
You can easily preorder the Bohemian on our new website;
