Check out the most gorgeous cover of this Cork literary journal
This is class.
The amazing Cork-based visual artist Deirdre Frost is behind the front cover of the second issue of The Four-Faced Liar.
The Cork-based journal has just launched its second issue, featuring 31 pieces of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and visual art, showcasing the crème de la crème of emerging and established voices in Ireland and beyond.
Frost’s beautiful cover work is titled The Three Graces and the journal also features award-winning writer Victoria Kennefick, who you may know as the mastermind behind Eat or We Both Starve.
Kennefick is currently wearing the hats of UCD/Arts Council of Ireland Writer-in-Residence and the 2022-2024 Poet-in-Residence at The Yeats Society Sligo.
