The beauty of the internet is that someone can mention a critics essay and you can just go and find it…. Might have been you @nemoloris.bsky.social !

New painting …

Did a little reading during the week in Cahir Co. Tipperary.

At a painting exhibition launch night .

Lots of very nice, very cool, very serious arts people.

Then at Gavin Hogg’s 40th year of painting retrospectives . Amazing, life affirming, deep journey.

I’m blessed with painters.

Painting is a language and this one is an alien that wants to eat your soul.

Congrats Gavin Hogg

Great marketing @longbarrowpress.bsky.social

The gift of small chapbook with an Order, links to the author in the anthology… which if you like, links you to buying the authors solo book….

Nice. Job.

Absolutely lovely to get a beautifully made book from @longbarrowpress.bsky.social on a Friday morning. Worth every penny. Steve Ely is a very good writer too. Looking forward to this .

What a strangely powerfully imaginative poem from Henri Cole, Gravity and Centre.

What an absolute joy to read. 🙏
Beautifully made, wry, happy, sad, zen…. A real tonic.
