Feel like I’m arriving just as the party’s over. Is there still a #writingcommunity and #poetrycommunity on here? I’m writing, participating, getting stuff out there, but I’m not feeling connected. Who should I follow?

You’re gonna need a bigger shelf.
My favourite shelf. I have no muscles to flex, only books I published or have work in 📚

Bien hecho Alan. Every success deserved. Enjoy the launch. 🥂
Looking forward to attending this launch in Limerick next Tuesday. My poem "Meatamour" is one of 116 works, by 87 poets, included. Many thanks to editor Victoria Kennefick.

A week after reading at the launch of An Áitiúl III, I just came across my poem in the original volume from a couple of years ago. Loss and erosion are everywhere. Stay strong.

It turns out, judging a poetry competition is really really hard. I want to squeeze about twenty into the ten places available for winners. Never mind the contestants, this just isn’t fair on me! #poetry #writingcommunity
