Friends, I’m teaching an Advanced Poetry Course with creative writing ink. 6 weeks, starts at the beginning of every month. We’ll do lots of poems. Lots of them. If you’re interested!

MO POEMS 2025

Last year we started Mo Poems by asking 30 people to write a poem for each day of Movember - we ended up with far more than that!

So this year, we’re doing a Mo Poems Anthology. Submissions will open next week for a month. Everyone is welcome to submit their work for consideration.

Our mental health services still aren’t good enough. Our budget for mental health is still way below the minimum threshold.

The state isn’t doing enough but is taking credit for the hard work of charities and organisations that fill the gaps the state has left. Let’s not forget that.

I have a new essay on the ethos of Spider-Man in Blackshuck Books’ new anthology, There’s Nothing Out There, available now!

It was originally meant to be included in A Brief Inhalation but so happy it found a home here ❤️

Hello fellow humans,

I just wanted to pop in and remind you that we’re launching my latest book, A Brief Inhalation, in Waterstones Cork next Tuesday April 15th at 6:30pm.

There will also be a post-launch reception hosted by Beamish Irish Stout!

Free to attend!

In the Sunday Times today.

As uncomfortable as this part of my life was, I’m happy to talk about it as so many people are affected by sextortion, in particular young people who are so at risk.

Thanks to Julieanne Corr for reaching out to talk about it, it’s a conversation that needs to happen

Truly grateful for all the support A Brief Inhalation has received so far ❤️
