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.
I want to read Meatamour.
@Sam_Johnson290 @TrishCrisafulli Marrying too young. 😏
Excited that my poem ‘Poetic Justice’ has been added to the brilliant ‘Faith, Hope and Fiction’ website. Huge thanks to @TrishCrisafulli - check it out here: faithhopeandfiction.com/content/poetic…
Looking good.

Congratulations miniMAG. So well deserved. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m chuffed to hear that my poem “28.6” will be included in @thewildumbrella print anthology for 2024. You can hear me read it here: instagram.com/reels/audio/26…
An email notification will go out in due course, along with publication in a special edition of Poetry Corner in @LeaderDungarvan and an invite to read at Winterverse on Dec 8th, but the 10 winners from the first ever annual waterford competition are here: waterford.carrd.co
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.
This is going to be so good!
Winterverse is back! Entertainment to warm the soul. Sunday 8 December from 5pm at @MarineBar_wfd - free admission. #poetry #spokenword #waterford #openmic
