Many people have said they admire Arlen House, its books, its independent feminist ethos, & that they'd like to help progress our vision. Well, now you can!
@nessao.bsky.social & Eavan Casey have created a fundraiser:

Thank you for any support you can give.
Great cause for a determined small press determined to continue in the face of institutional indifference.

Just saw the grange stone circle in Limerick in the way home from Kerry - extraordinary place. More than 110 stones and 60m in diameter

Din Lligwy was another favourite - and the glorious church associated with St Patrick on the east coast. Oh and a Sheena na gig at Penmon Abbey and holy well. Bet you’ve seen them all!
