Ragaire Literary Magazine

About

Ragaire is a literary magazine based in Galway. The title ‘Ragaire’ is an old Irish word to describe someone who enjoys late night wandering. We want our magazine to be a light for those travellers, a place to bring their poems and stories, those lines of life. We are a warm and welcoming home for writers of all stripes and creeds. We love writing that touches the heart. We want to be moved and excited by what we read.
Whether this is the first step of your journey, or the next stop on the road you’ve long been walking on, we welcome all travellers. We hope to give your words a home.
