The Moth: from flight of fancy to successful arts magazine
From the unlikely setting of a farmhouse in Cavan comes ‘The Moth’, one of Ireland’s ‘coolest poetry magazines’ that has now gained an international following, and is the work of a husband and wife team
Rebecca O’Connor and Will Govan:“He is the real entrepreneur,” says Rebecca, “whereas I am a big square.I would never have gone down this route without Will.”
Their eyes met over an “outrageous” model in a life drawing class in London in 2006. In a meet-cute worthy of Nora Ephron, they had nowhere else to look but at each other. A few months later, Rebecca O’Connor proposed to Will Govan after a row at a house party. What she didn’t know, was that Will already had a ring in his pocket and was just about to propose. They tied the knot at the end of 2007.
