Amazing that this is twenty years ago, the nerves and excitement at my first ever book launch, with Olivia O'Leary doing the honours in Carlow Carlow Arts Festival - happy memories.

My creative-critical PhD thesis has been signed off in the past week. Describing a process is part of it - as opposed to naming a genre, which is a vexed question. It's called 'Among Love's Apartments: A Theory-in-Practice of the Autopoetic Essay.' Thanks to all who supported...
