@biancastone thank you!

Each voice that comes to trouble you is your own: the hard, the hungry, lost or questioning. To find where your lover travels, turn out to the waiting, see. You are alone. Denise Levertov

@biancastone thanks for sharing. Currently also obsessed with stone poems! Louise Erdrich has some good stone material. Short story & poem. newyorker.com/magazine/2019/… reddit.com/r/Poetry/comme…

I knock at the stone’s front door. “It’s only me, let me come in. I’ve come out of pure curiosity. Only life can quench it. I mean to stroll through your palace, then go calling on a leaf, a drop of water. I don’t have much time. My mortality should touch you.” Szymborska

@Finolala wow! love this Finola - major fan of horse poems!!

Thank you so much to the @MunLitCentre for including this poem in the latest Southword. Thanks also to Elaine Feeney for giving it a high commendation in the Cúirt New Writing Prize, and eternal gratitude to @VKennefick for selecting it for the Single Poem Award at Writers Week.

@ewenglass well done Ewen! look forward to it!

Yay, I've just signed a contract for my debut poetry chap-book/pamphlet! It explores my experiences growing up in 90s Northern Ireland as part of a family that fostered. I can't wait to share it.

@corourke91 no worries! interesting read by the looks of it. Worldcat.org is where I always go looking for hard to find books

@AerLingus @eoghanbrennan06 How can other people get this clarification? I am DM'ing you but only receiving 'bot responses - appreciate any help!

@eoghanbrennan06 Hi Eoghan, your flight is operated by Emerald, so it will not be affected. We hope this helps.

@AerLingus please DM me ASAP. Have been trying to DM you for days now and your bot won’t connect me to an agent.

@biancastone would love a discussion on Rodin's influence on Rilke, especially pertaining to the development of his perception

Comments or questions about Rilke for me and Dara Barrois/ Dixon to cover please repost or DM now!

I find the opening to Rilke's Third Elegy quite steamy......🔥🌊 Podcast is coming soon 👀

@biancastone sorry I just realised how unhelpful that is - I did the math and afternoon is good for EU!

@biancastone anytime that makes it possible from Europe!!

Your votes would be so helpful! Do you prefer taking online classes:

@dessadarling @ilanguagektl Or Vienna!

@ilanguagektl Prague?

European friends. We’re working hard to plot on a visit. An extensive routing won’t be possible (headwinds even stronger after Covid). If we were to play the UK and add a date on the continent, would you consider traveling—meet us partway? Honest feedback much appreciated.
