I'm leaving Boston College today filled with gratitude: what an amazing six weeks this has been! I've gotten more done on my book project than I have for a very long time thanks to the resources and support of @burnslibrary.bsky.social and @bc-irish-studies.bsky.social.

Our wonderful colleague, poet in residence Emily Cullen, and her son Lee have been in the national news this last week, and now they're on the #BBC! Read the heartwarming story here: www.bbc.com/news/article... @unioflimerick.bsky.social #poetry #juniorcert

I wrote a poem about my son - years later it appeared on his exam

Emily Cullen says she couldn't believe it when her son told her about the poem, which she had written seven years earlier.
