Step onto the edge of the world with Muldaddie by Jane Fuller, a poem that captures the haunting meeting of land and sea, of past and present, of myth and memory.

Listen and Find

• A headland rich with history—where footsteps of the past linger where in
• The wild motion of nature—peregrines, kittiwakes, and tides pull at the soul as
• A tension between land and sea, freedom and fate interweaves with
• A final, foreboding call as the Raven warns of transformation




Poetry that breathes with the landscape, where every line stirs the salt air and the pull of the tide as Muldaddie carries you.

Cloud News is where words unfold like weather—shifting, illuminating, bending time and thought. In this episode, Electrification, we explore the contrast of sin and virtue, hunger and nourishment, darkness and light—how the world, like the soul, is fed by what it consumes. Inspired by Dante’s descent and ascent, this reflection asks: what truly nourishes us?

Who wasn’t living in the clouds during COVID—searching for something more than what was on offer? Cloud News is my take on the world as I saw it—where every sound and color sparked a thought, a made-up image, a comment, a scribble, or a story.

Here, sunrise painted each day anew, and the rain didn't just fall—it fed the soil, teased scent from the blossom and filled baths for feathered friends.

A space—where memory and imagination met.

Cloud News – Stories Written in Light, Rain, and Time

After Yesterday's muse on mad women and air ...by Emilia Pardo Bazan ...I thought today to cheer up the show with a quieter meditation. The very lovely Musings Chanced Upon in the Quiet of Inniscrone by Peter Kiernan was published up to one of our early issues and it is a contemplative reflection on solitude, memory, and the ceaseless rhythms of nature.

Set against the windswept shores of Enniscrone, in County Sligo. the poem weaves a tapestry of shifting light, rolling waves, and whispered silences, to capture the fleeting nature of time—where the presence of the sea, the old man’s journey, and the poet’s introspection converge in a dance of permanence and impermanence.

A meditation on existence and the paths we build as we walk in time, one moment at a time: One stone, one step ...

This is a reading from The Linnet's Wings Magazine

Translated by Diana Ferraro, Emilia Pardo Bazán’s haunting short story, AIR, explores the fragile boundary between love and madness, reality and delusion. A young woman, Cecilia Bohorques, clings to a single phrase spoken by her lover—"You are nothing. You are colder than air."—until it consumes her entirely. In her mind, she becomes air itself, untouchable, untethered, lost to the world.

In this chilling and poetic tale, Bazán, a pioneer of Spanish literature, delivers a devastating meditation on obsession, longing, and the weightlessness of unfulfilled love.

"There is a madness that is loud and wild, but there is also a madness as soft as a whisper, as weightless as air."

Somewhere between a thought and a sentence, between the last word and the one that never came, there’s a place where unfinished stories wait. A place where endings linger… just out of reach. And on this particular day, Apple Beth stumbles right into it.

Meet Miss Loosends, the keeper of forgotten endings, tending to threads of stories that flicker, curl, and wait to be remembered. Enter Mr. Gent, ever the observer, watching the spaces between things. And brace yourself for Mr. Cutcorners, who never met an ending he wouldn’t trim—whether it was ready or not.

In this tale, loose ends twist, pages whisper, and time itself seems to pause—if only for a moment—before the next chapter begins.

Some endings arrive too soon. Some take their time. And some… some are just waiting for the right moment.
