Happy paperback day, Victoria MacKenzie 🥳!! One of my most treasured reads from last year 🔥. I envy anyone reading this for the first time. A future classic about medieval mystics Julian of Norwich & Margery Kempe, from a writer as original as Anne Carson and Maggie Nelson.

A nice crowd in Pearce St Library to listen to Hazel Gaynor, AnyaBergman & Aoife Fitzpatrick at the Historia Live event - so lucky that we live in a city that arranges evenings like this Dublin UNESCO Dublin City Libraries

If you are around tonight, go along to this FREE event, 6.30 at Pearce St Library.

The fantastic poet Dr Victoria Kennefick (She/Her)🍉 was on RTE Arena last night talking about and reading (beautifully) from her new collection Egg/Shell which I have been reading slowly over the last week or so. Really powerful, moving, brilliant poems.
