Rotten London, Rotten Elsewhere: Letters to Power
Caustically humorous and polemically compulsive, Trump Rant is a work of meticulous political portraiture: a deep-delving and epoch-spanning investigation into the nature of power in American life, made luminous by Chris Agee’s nuanced, exploratory understanding of authoritarian drift and thwarted democratic aspiration in a number of world-historical contexts, from Belfast to the Balkans to the formerly Confederate South.

A collection of letters written to people in positions of authority and influence between 2008 and 2025. It is an essential read for anyone interested in issues of race, gender, class and political and economic elites.
Sule’s letters are addressed to presidents, prime ministers, newspaper editors, pastors, supranational institutions, sporting bodies and business leaders. The messages exist in various forms, including classic letters, rejoinders, appeals, epistles, open letters and satires. However, they all share one overriding message: Injustice must stop.

Outstanding Writing from Ireland and Overseas
Scotland
(Volume 12, Number 2)
Ten years after the Independence Referendum, Irish Pages asks diverse Scottish writers of distinction – established, mid-career and new – to think about their country, and take stock of the current state of its culture and polity, language and literature, ecology and environment, while a specially curated selection of Scotland’s emerging poets will offer a younger perspective. How will Scotland fare in an era of momentous and unpredictable political change? Stands Scotland where it did?
Co-edited by Kathleen Jamie and Don Paterson.
