RunAmok

RunAmok is a new publisher of innovative/experimental poetics based in Cork City, Ireland. Our aim is to publish new poetry that excites us and not get bogged down in one particular style or school. We want to publish young emerging writers alongside much more established ones. We hope that the chapbooks we publish, our two part magazine 'Fontanelles' and 'Foma', along with this blog will help foster a community and open up conversation between old and new friends.

RunAmok is run by James Cummins, Sarah Hayden, Niamh O'Mahony and Rachel Warriner.

Please email no more than 6 poems or no more than 5000 words of criticism or reviews of various length to RunAmok.
