Mine is a nice story! Van personally waived the rights to some lines from Astral Weeks for my Multitudes epigraph, though as he doesn’t even technically own them himself, it involved slightly scary phonecalls with LA lawyers who charged me only nominally (still - $100-something dollars)

Thank you! Yes there are wonderful musical things going on in Folkestone, and an ambitious arts programme centred at the Grand too. Well worth a visit!

If the New Yorker says so, it must be true… Devotions is out in the US next week - along with Multitudes, Intimacies *and* Openings!

Clare, it was wonderful to meet you yesterday and thank you so much for showing me your Newgrange journal entries and talking me through your connections with the site. I think the hairs are still standing on the back of my neck! Very special indeed - I’m very grateful.

In today's Irish Times, an essay I wrote about the winter solstice at Newgrange, the importance of our sacred sites, about surrender, and about finding light in the darkness ✨
