Maeve O'Sullivan@maevedos.bsky.social · 3mo agoDelighted to share that I’ll be a guest on tomorrow (Sun) evening’s Poetry People programme with @rachaelhegarty.bsky.social. It’s on @rteradio1.bsky.social at 7pm. Since it’s #midsummer & #fathersday, I’ll read some #haiku & #senryu on those themes from my brand new collection ‘Wishing Tree Note’
We had a great launch of ‘Wishing Tree Note’ last Thurs in #Dublin. Kim R. from Alba was there & @gagebybell.bsky.social gave a wonderful launch speech 🙏🏻 The book is available to order on my website, maeveosullivan.com. 20% of all sales now go to the Dublin Simon Community, a homeless charity.
'Would poetry be more effective – that is, interest more people more deeply – if it were more directly concerned with the issues of our time?' @joriegraham.bsky.social, Don Paterson, @aestallings.bsky.social and more have their say in our 2026 Survey of Poets. thelondonmagazine.org/article/essa...
Essay | A 2026 Survey of Poets - The London Magazine
The London Magazine speaks to Jorie Graham, Don Paterson, A. E. Stallings and more about the state of poetry and poets today.

Very much looking forward to launching this lovely collection 💖
