Contributed a poem to the @PoetryPac digital wall last year and recently got my handwritten copy sent, as they invite you to do, to the physical archive at UCD - I knew I would love the physical writing aspect to it, bought special paper and everything …

Meanwhile an exhibition of 14 panels visually contextualising my 5th book IT REEKS OF RADIO (2023) continues at Newman Building @HumanitiesUCD. The poem was composed exclusively with fragments of RTE Radio related material held @ucdarchives. A filmed interview is forthcoming.

Last year I had the privilege of working with an incredible group of women, Comhrá na mBan, as part of the '1923 Reflections' #DecadeofCentenaries project. @PoetryPac invited me to write this reflection about it. The piece includes links to all the historic poems written by us
In anticipation of #IWD2024 we invited @emilyecullen to reflect on her work w/ a group of writers in Westside Library @LibrariesGalway last year. Thanks to all of the writers who contributed to our '#VirtualPoetryWall

Happy St Brigid’s Day and the beginnings of Spring 🌷 This hand coloured photoengraved print adorns a Cuala Press greeting card from c. 1930s. Designed by Irish modernist artist Evie Hone (1894-1955) it features a symbolically larger Saint Brigid sheltering her congregation.

A moving and amazing story, but in some ways it was bound to happen such is the power of #poetry and the beautiful breadth of the @PoetryPac project. Very humbled to have been part of the @poetryjukebox thread.

It's wonderful to have been part of this story of reconciliation with @annaolwriter & Annette Condon as part of @PoetryPac. Anna took part in two workshops that I facilitated at @dlrLexIcon, but it was at @MoLI_Museum that this moment brought me to tears bit.ly/493KDgQ
As the anniversary of the Soloheadbeg ambush approaches, we share a story of healing inspired by writers @annaolwriter & #annettecondon. Read this powerful piece in today’s @IrishTimes #decadeofcentenaries
