grateful to Nihal Arthanayake for taking the time to talk to me about the fellas we cover all sorts of ground about being / becoming men, the legacy of the conflict, violence, and how I came to write the book I did listen here, but also on Spotify etc: podfollow.com/thepenguinpodc…

Remembering #SeamusHeaney on the 10th anniversary of his passing with an evening of poetry and discussions. Kudos to Glenn Patterson, Stephen Sexton - Stephen Sexton, Dawn Watson, and Dr Dane Holt for sharing the lasting impact of Heaney's work on their own poetic journeys.

this is happening tomorrow Open Up is an astonishing book, Tom Morris is an astonishing writer, and a hugely important figure for a lot of young writers (including me) through his work The Stinging Fly, and I can’t wait to talk to him

Great to be in it
