‘I close my eyes and we ride bikes where the sea sways to the beat of the shore…’ dreamy, gorgeous poem ✨

Fabulous imagery paired with deceptive simplicity. Excellent! #PoemsAbout #Mountains

Poetic mastery meets a target/ ideal reader 🎯 🤩 🤩 🤩

They’ve taken flight!!!
#Poetry on the move with thanks to Joanne Hayden 💙❤️

What an honour to launch alongside Emma McKervey this week 🙏❤️

Throwing myself forward behind a swirling May Pole.
Putting one step before another before another.
Step this side of a two-by-four- in the spring mud.
24-frames per second. comes the blooming flowers.

The sonic world of nocturnal migration is fascinating. It shines a light on the unknown & lets you hear birds in an out of place context. Here is a Coot migrating along the Ballycotton cliffs @ 00:25am. Hear the crashing waves & echo of its calls bounce off the cliffs as it goes.

This is a dizzying ride where Damien Donnelly leads SeaGoatWhoScreamsPoetry (Ankh Spice) Rhona Greene and I on an epic, giddy journey to the sea, sky and through time. An honour to be written about by the MC of the Storms.

What better a home to be in than a Rhona Home. Back from Away is off & out, making homes where she goes, this time with glorious thanks to the effervescent Rhona Greene 🎉🙏💙

‘We are strangers who have known each other longer than fires…’
Oh my heart Dami!❤️‍🔥What a beautiful surprise to see this very special poem ‘Between the Sea and Stars, There are Bright Lights’ in Damien Donnelly collection ‘Back From Away’ this means so much. Our bikes await! 🚴❤️‍🔥

I was gutted not to make Damien Donnelly’s beautiful launch last evening so I’m overjoyed his gorgeous, glossy collection

Today’s joy is yesterday I launched!

‘Welcome to the Museum of a Life’ was celebrated at a hybrid event. A lovely audience and superb support from other poets.

Here’s me enjoying the moments…

Congratulations Sue Finch 👏👏👏

Now more than ever we need Clare in Europe.
