I lost count how many times I submitted to @bansheepress.bsky.social, so I'm especially thrilled to take up four whole ass pages like quite the audacious madam (Issue 19 Spring/Summer).

I think I had the perfect Sunday; 'Gaslight', the mystery movie at @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social, followed by a talk on the new Gertrude Stein biography: @ilfdublin.bsky.social @francescawade.bsky.social

Gabriel Byrne reads "Late Fragment" by Raymond Carver

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
