looking forward to hosting a reading by superb poets Billy Ramsell and Scott McKendry in Maureen's pub, Cork, tonight! 7.30


I bought 3 books yesterday to enjoy today on #NationalPoetryDay I am posting one poem from each, no commentary, just the poem The first is 'Male Line : A Fallacy' by Scott McKendry Scott McKendry #poem #POEMS #poetry #AmReading #poemoftheday #poets


I’m haunted by this poem by Dane Holt @DonVanDolt from his superb forthcoming Carcanet Press collection Father’s Father’s Father.



Great to see Andrey Kurkov's Silver Bone, deftly trans. by Boris Dralyuk, on Paul Muldoon's Best Reads list. So too Scott McKendry's Gub, which Muldoon declares "[t]he most interesting poetry of recent times" & a collection notable for its mouthiness, myth-swanking and swazzle moves".

Scott McKendry reading from his collection GUB last night at SpeakEasy Open Mic in Waterford with music from a local jazz trio.
