About The Basil O' Flaherty |
The new literary arts website that couldn't think of a real name, so one was chosen based on a character from a book that was never written.
For all the work that is never displayed, all the writing never published, The Basil O' Flaherty aims to fight for these pieces. We are looking for everything—artwork, poems, short stories, nonfiction pieces, lyrics, plays, puppies (probably not puppies because we are a literary arts website and not an animal shelter), interviews with writers and artists, and reviews of new literature (but if you have an interesting review of an older work, send that to us and we will reconsider this!) |
