Rest in Power Margaretta D'Arcy, fierce, fearless artist and anti-war activist. She was a strong advocate for Palestinians, an early signatory to our Irish Artists' Pledge to Boycott Israel and a tireless campaigner against the US military use of Shannon Airport and efforts to erode our neutrality.

Good morning with a Diane Seuss sonnet
All things remind me now of what love used to be. Swollen cattails in lonely places. Gluey conditioner in my hair.

Ana Mendieta, #BOTD in 1948 in Cuba. An extraordinary artist who used the body and landscape in an elemental way. I keep going back to her work (she’s in my first book, and the next one). This piece includes a link to a radio essay for RTÉ this year. momentsofrecognition.substack.com/p/on-touchst...

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Our friend, poet and activist Sarah Clancy, is on the Spectre, one of the boats on the Flotilla which was attacked last night. Contact the Taoiseach and Tánaiste to demand protection, there must be safe passage for all trying to break apartheid Israel's illegal siege of Gaza. #LiftTheSiege
