‘Straight out of the border region of Ireland in County Cavan, The Moth is one of the most impressive literary magazines publishing now in the English-speaking world. The magazine is slender, neat and unpretentious in design; its visual art is typically stunning, its typeface invitingly diminutive. The interviews read often like craft-packed mini-memoirs. The poems and stories are consistently gripping, pertinent, stirring. Like all real literature the words The Moth carries on its wings to readers are local and intimate yet gathered from the multitudes. Subscribe and be surprised’  Dan O’Brien
