Growing up in Northern Ireland, I had always believed in America. It was the shining city on the hill, the last best hope on Earth. The Dream of it was mine for the taking. Watching on live TV the desecration of the people's house on #January6 confirmed that Dream would remain elusive.

Unlike essays or newspaper articles I’ve written about #SeamusHeaney this is personal. With a nod to my old scrapbooking days, here’s my 2025 calendar - 12 photos of my favorite places & people with lines from my favorite poems. Every good wish for the new year. @irishlittimes.bsky.social

There's poetry all around really ...
A lovely spot of time spent strolling around our neighboring village after dark. No matter where I am, #SeamusHeaney is there too.

I first saw #JanisIan perform in Dublin ☘️ in 1984. Along with Peter Frampton and Nick Lowe she opened for Chris de Burgh.
Some 30 years later, I saw her again at The Rhythm Room in Phoenix, where she talked about that concert in Ireland and her most famous song, “At Seventeen” . . .
