Sink every impulse like a bolt. Secure
The bastion of sensation. Do not waver
Into language. Do not waver in it.

Full swing here in Listowel, and nothing but highlights since the President raised the roof on Opening Night. Brilliant explorations of the Mother Nature theme, and an inescapable buzz in this town that seems to have been built for the celebration of books @WritersWeek

Being recognised twice by the editorial committee @writersweek is an achievement that I’ll struggle to surpass. Listowel & the Writing in Prisons programme has enabled me now have a career I never thought possible. Thank you @martindyar @WritersWeek @IrishPrisons @GHollandPhoto

Great speech by President Higgins tonight in Listowel after receiving The John B. Keane Lifetime Achievement Award for Services to Arts & Culture, full of humour and rich insight. It was an honour to deliver the citation for this award to a very packed house @WritersWeek

I’m sure many of us have woken up after a magical night in John B Keane’s wondering what is real or surreal, but I seem to have won the Bryan MacMahon Short Story Award at @WritersWeek Huge congrats to all the winners writersweek.ie/news/ #ListowelWritersWeek #LWW2024

Humour & laughter were the essence of John B. Keane and his work: the earthy humour of rural Ireland, the humour of human foibles and the quirky humour that comes from the deliberate juxtaposition of the mundane and the exotic. He died #OTD 2002. dib.ie/biography/keane-john-… #DIBLives
