The poet Ellen Dillon read at O’Bhéal go Béal tonight to a packed house. What an artist. Master of craft and scholar of poetry. Proof that good writing takes time and effort. Excited for her next book. Properly achieved poetry tonight. No short cuts.

Read this book and be mad as hell!! But read it! There is something so haunted about trying to catch a glimpse of her through the veil of paraphrase the copywrite situation has thrown over her work.
Anyone with even a passing interest in Beckett needs to read Emilie Morin's biography of Suzanne Dumesnil: it's free to download for the next two weeks. This is feminist restorative history in action: read this book!!!
