Possibly shouting into the void. I’m hardly ever on here. Nonetheless: Any writer/publishing connections up for chatting re supporting Palestinian poets? Any initiatives out there? I’ve been in contact with a poet for a while who is working on a collection & it’s time to explore options for them.

It isn’t unusual for me to re-watch certain tv shows, but Letterkenny just hits different. Jared Keeso is a genius. Exceptional writing, exceptional characters, the works, and pretty soon I’m going to start again for the millionth time because we just finished Shoresy, so natural progression.

This is Deku. He's approximately three stories tall. Shedding season is a public health concern. 14/10
a blond golden retriever smiles while standing next to a quaint stone building. the dog’s head is approximately the height of the chimney extending above the roof. a smaller building in the background with yellow windows and black doors only comes up to his shoulder. the blue sky above has a few wisps of clouds overhead.

This would change a life. It could change the life of a family. If you doubt that it could happen, look at me. I just did a PhD by Published Works because access and understanding were put in place, but ALSO because a small group of people suggested it for me in the first place & had that faith

This is Erika. I was changing the bed & she decided to sit like this, refusing to move, just staring at me. I drove to the back arse of nowhere in Donegal to rescue her when she was tiny. Now she is a TANK and all I get is this derision because I’m not my husband.

We’re still going back and forth - shortlist on the 1st - but wonderful discussion on the poetry list with @seaninhughes.bsky.social and her words have made me think so much more about writing. Craft, our development, how and why we learn. Lovely stuff 💙📚

Kind of feel like the switch to referring to art as "content" is contributing in ways to how disposable and interchangeable books and writers are treated. I know it's not the reason WHY, because it's long been that way, but it just feels like it's a way to make everything happening more permissible.

If we can get this to 2k by the time the 2025 #Curae prize shortlist is announced on 1st May, that would be THE BEST. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed. Please share and repost. Thank you 💙📚

Wrote a weird slug story last week. Insomnia meant I was in the kitchen at 4am and found one. At first I thought it was a massive cat shit, then it moved and I panicked (bc JFC, sentient shit), then I copped myself on. Got ~2k by 7am. Discovered the dog had eaten it, which was scary, but she’s ok.

Today, I sent my selections for the poetry section of the Curae Prize. The calibre was phenomenal - seriously👌. Thank you so much to every single entrant for giving me the opportunity to read your work. Please, please never stop writing. And I hope we get to do this again and again, year on year.

Could my fellow poets who write/speak as Gaeilge make themselves known, please? Friend helping to organise an arts festival and they need one. Thanks!

This is so refreshing to see. I’m geographically limited, but maybe this will reach some folks who could go along and support?

Seanín @seaninhughes.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
Now we get to read the entries. As a carer myself, this is a real privilege and I will give each and every one the time and attention it deserves. Big luck to all of those who entered 🌻

You have to improve your portrait of God John Ashbery
WE HESITATE


The days to come are a watershed.
You have to improve your portrait of God
To make it plain. It is on the list,
You and your bodies are on the line.

The new past now unfurls like a great somber hope
Above the treeline, like a giant’s hand
Placed tentatively on the hurrying clouds.
The basins come to be full and complex

But it is not enough. Concern and embarrassment
Grow rank. Once they have come home there is no cursing.
Fires disturb the evening. No one can hear the story.
Or sometimes people just forget

Like a child. It took me months
To get that discipline banned, and what is the use,
To ban that? You remain a sane, yet sophisticated, person:
Rooted in twilight, dreaming, a piece of traffic.

🗣️ “Being a Traveller, we have been treated differently and face inequalities in accessing services, mainly due to people’s prejudices.” Often women’s health issues are pushed to the side, with a high number of women feeling like their struggles aren’t taken seriously.

41 trips around the sun for me somewhere vaguely between today and tomorrow. Blithely coddiwompling into my ‘fuck fear’ era in which I get my MA and become an unorthodox autistic therapist who makes everyone write a book.

Jerome Valeska. Now that’s some acting. Yes I’m watching Gotham long after everyone else. Shut up. It’s what I do.
