Just to say I am about to become an ex of X…. I can no longer stand the sight of that black logo, death symbol, emblem of what its maker is up to, of what more may be to come. See you over on FB or on insta, perhaps… Just keep reading poetry, please!

@IrishLitTimes From my first collection, World Without Maps. Poem written on learning of John McGahern’s death in 2006. Was in a train heading west.

Pretty blown away by this shout out in Irish president Michael D. Higgins’ speech for #WorldRefugeeDay. Maybe this can be a motivator too for other journos working on tough issues: I guess we never know where our reporting is reaching & who is listening. president.ie/en/media-libra…

Grateful to Gill Stoker at the Mary Evans Picture Library for choosing my poem to accompany this gorgeous image marking St Brigid’s Day and Ireland first national holiday in her honour, our ‘matron saint’. @poetryireland
Mary Evans Picture Library@Mary_Evans

It's #StBrigidsDay marking 1st day of spring in the Gaelic calendar (and a public holiday for the 1st time this year in Republic of Ireland, lucky things). Spring seems a BIT optimistic, but this lovely illustration of Brigid by F. Cayley Robinson has spring-like overtones.

Beautiful image of Brigid from the Mary Evans Picture LIbrary blog, to go with my poem St Brigid Dreams of the Arrival of Spring…chosen, aptly, as poem of the week for the week that’s in it. maryevans.com/poetry.php?pos…
