A poignant honour to host a tribute to Arena’s Seán Rocks last Sun with Kathleen MacMahon, Kevin Barry @winterpapers.bsky.social - Paula Meehan & Colm Mac Con Iomaire. Exquisite words & music - & an audience of friends & family. At Dublin Book Festival. ❤️

A dreamy day in Dublin, with Gallery Weekend, Book Festival, and sunshine. With only a few minutes to spare before catching the train home, I popped into @booksupstairs.bsky.social to scoop up some books. and now they have signed copies of THE LANGUAGE OF TREES 🌿
We are delighted to announce that the winner of the Goldsmiths Prize 2025 is C.D. Rose's We Live Here Now! 🎉🎉 Congratulations Chris! 👏👏

Over the moon to be part of @winterpapers.bsky.social. It’s a joy to be sharing my essay ‘Mid-Life Music Lessons’ as part of this beauty alongside so many whose work I admire. The launch is @dublinbookfest.bsky.social next Sat, Nov 8. Here’s to music, winter reading & dreaming the future.
Just reposting this link to my essay ‘Birds, Watching’, with one of the accompanying photos, about bird rescue and death, now available online for first time @winterpapers.bsky.social go.bsky.app/redirect?u=h...
Every year this gorgeous literary journal releases its line up and everyone goos out loud at the new cover. I think the fact that it's once a year makes it a bit, ye know, designery in its buzz. Fantabulous.
