@annierose25.bsky.social
Poetry. Films. Photographs. Plays. Novels. Images my own unless a repost. Writing in English/Ulster-Scots. I chase words and the light. Available on tour, in books and on BBC Radio/TV. New work autumn 2025. Never too many cats.
Pinned
My life as an Ulster-Scots poet. Stunning voices from the past. Interviews with inspiring NI women writers. And the old farm. It was an honour to take this journey. With warmest thanks to @doublebandfilms.bsky.social, @niscreen.bsky.social @bbcnireland.bsky.social

Out of the Silence
Poet Anne McMaster explores how writing has moved from the margins to the mainstream for women, and how Ulster-Scots has been embraced and revitalised by a new generation.

The edge of the island. Castlerock looking out to a shadowed Donegal 💙

Rippling through hedgerows. Quiet beauty and scent. The year turns. Honeysuckle blossoms at the old farm 💙

Today's sky. Changeable. I wait for summer but enjoy the energy above me 💙

Find goodness in quiet spaces. In awkward, diffident folks who don't speak in polished soundbites but who offer quiet wisdom. In the small ordinary moments that have their own beauty 💙

Before the rain arrived today. Dawn at the old farm 5.25am. I'm so grateful for this morning and this light 💙

A blast from the past. A day of Benone reflections. An open sky, soft clouds and rippling water that carries the light above, below 💙

Midsummer rose - not quite perfect, but beautiful, regardless. Almost as old as the farmhouse - 125 years 💙

I've undertaken this 24 hour marathon for over a decade now. Does it hurt? You bet. By hour 19, I've forgotten who I am. Is it worth it? Without question. It changed my writing life. It is connection, creativity and community; a challenge and a joy. Now for a nap 😁

Earlier today - strong, bright light, rich clouds and a generous blue held in the water and the sky. Spring morning at the Agivey river 💙

For the first time in a while, we've lost the long golden light of spring sun at dusk. A weather front is moving in tonight. The air is close and still. There's beauty in these backlit clouds 💙
