Trasna A Literary Journal

About

Published biannually, Trasna is an online literary journal, curating work from Ireland and the Irish Diaspora from across the world. We hope to continue hosting writing from an evolving and more broadly-defined Irish literary tradition: to include any writers who consider themselves a part of the Irish experience. We particularly seek to include voices from those groups who might typically be underrepresented in literary spaces, or left out of myopic definitions of Irishness. We have published emigrants and immigrants, writers from Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Canada, the United States, and elsewhere.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to "writers across the world who consider Ireland a home in some regard."
