Just back from a great literary festival in Wexford after being placed in the poetry comp, such a joy to be back in Ireland 🇮🇪 & to spend time with Claire Keegan & hear the wonderful @kitdewaal.com

I’m still waiting to hear what their estimate is :)

Very much enjoyed ‘The Opposite of Swedish Death Cleaning’ such true & well crafted work including powerful poems on Alzheimer’s from @alisonbinney.bsky.social (& good luck with Gladstone!)

A perfectly poetic cafe in Copenhagen : )

Soooo excited to be on the Alpine Fellowship Shortlist for 2025 : 0

Up the May 🎉

Exciting Icelandic Activity Bókmenntahátíð í Reykjavík / The Reykjavik International Literary Festival & Arts Council England - Anne Carson / Claire Keenan / Andrev Walden, volcanoes 🌋, stone stories & double rainbows.

Seems like a good time to repost (admittedly probably to the converted) :) X

Enjoying first @rialtopoetry.bsky.social and daff of the season - great sequence from @lorrainemariner.bsky.social
