I’m never sure if my published poetry reaches many people so I’m delighted to see “Bealtaine Fire” appear in the current issue of an east Donegal newspaper, Finn Valley Voice. I hope the farmer narrator’s voice is carried far! (BTW The last stanza is a translation into Irish of the penultimate one.)

The narrative is as ambiguous as the images are brilliant – the cream crawling, the water lying soft in the cistern
Sonically this is on another level. The 4/6/4 sonnet is great.
And even with all the unanswered questions there is the underlying wish for a simpler life

Slow horses is a great series, from season 1 to 4. Season 5 is a bit less enjoyable until you reach the last episode that brings everything together. But why is-it such a success? Here is the social psychology of Slow horses, an interesting analysis:
