This time yesterday I celebrated the launch of my poetry collection 'May Swim' in Hodges Figgis with family, friends, fellow writers, swimmers & yogis. After Sinéad MacAodha's terrific introduction, every copy of the book in the shop sold, even the ones in the window! Thanks all!

An absolute dream of a review of Pit Lullabies by Shara Lessley in West Branch - she’s captured absolutely everything I wanted to transmit.

A pleasure to be featured with the wonderful Molly Twomey rosamund & Tara Bergin ✨

2 dots and a close up. My great pleasure to introduce Mícheál McCann at the QUB Belfast launch of 'Devotion', his debut from The Gallery Press . It was a concert-sized crowd, testament to how much he is admired.

Would anyone like two tickets to see Natalie Diaz on Friday 8pm in International Literature Festival Dublin ? I'm not able to use them (got Covid).

Join us tonight (Tues 21 May) at 7pm BST for our May online launch reading!

We'll be livestreaming readings and discussion from Amanda Dalton, Imtiaz Dharker and Katie Donovan on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/live/04juLR-bt…

A stand out moment of the recent English UCC Creative Writing Lecture Series with Annemarie Ní Churreáin and Martina Evans was hearing Annemarie Ní Churreáin read this incredible poem A Hymn to All Restless Girls from her pamphlet Ghostgirl she truly is an inspiration🩶

For the next Poetry is Political Bookclub, we wanted to discuss queer love, witches and nature. In Her Jaws by rosamund is an astonishing debut collection on reimagined history, the Irish lyric tradition of writing the female perspective, and reclamation of language.

High Jump as Icarus Story by Gustav Parker Hibbett is back from the printers & looking beautiful! Impeccable design as always by anna morrison. Out 4 July 2024 🤩
