Ahead of my reading at De Barra's in Clonakilty on Wednesday 9th July at 8.30pm, Moze Jacobs interviewed me about my new collection. Would appreciate any listens, and also shares. And it would be lovely to see you on the 9th, if you're around! Free event.

'Jeanne’s experiences helped me reflect on my own sense of doubleness: between rootedness and restlessness, between belonging and feeling an outsider.'

All of us at the Munster Literature were saddened at the news of the passing of the poet Judith Mok.
Our thoughts are with her husband Michael O’Loughlin and daughter Saar.

❛There should be a privacy and a measure of mystique to the work. Because it’s a special activity, poetry. There are things we don’t understand, philosophical things. I think of poetry as connecting with those things. Ideally. Maybe.
Irish poet Derek Mahon, born #OTD in 1941.
