We hear of two recent publications in this edition, the first of which is 'Dreich Planet 2 - Isle of Man', with poetry from the Island. Guest editors for the international publishing venture, Annie Kissack and Hazel Teare, tell us about, and we hear the first poem in the collection by their fellow guest editor, David Callin.

The other is 'Strandings & Sinkings : Shipwrecks in Manx Waters' published by Loaghtan Books, for which Sara Goodwins and George Hobbs took as their starting point more of Ray Stanfield's archive of images. 

This is very resonant in a year in which the choice of Adrian Corkill as Reih Bleeaney Vanannan 2024 was for his detailed database of shipwrecks in Manx waters, and in which the RNLI is celebrating 200 years since its founding in 1824 by Sir William Hillary. Manx National Heritage curator of archaeology, Alison Fox, talks about Sir William and the foundation of the service, and also about some of the Island's maritime history and heritage in an ongoing exhibition, 'All At Sea', at the House of Manannan in Peel.
