The wonderful Billy Ramsell recited from his new book *Render* in @booksupstairs.bsky.social yesterday, and talked about it with Adam Wyeth. Interesting to hear about how the role @jesstraynor.bsky.social - also pictured - played as poem-doctor to the collection's stunning funeral ballad.

It will be an honour to launch Billy Ramsell's superb collection *Render* in Lavit Gallery in Cork, 4 June, 6pm. Come and hear some excellent poetry. On what more distant somewheres will their tidings, their indigo gospel, their weightlessness have settled by morning? from 'Two Boys' See less
