So lovely to chat to Kay Sheehy and Edel Coffey on @rteradio1.bsky.social's Arena about how the restraints of a prompt can actually help you generate new ideas when writing.

At least 20 Ukrainian civilians have been killed just this night by Russian missiles and drones. Hundreds of soldiers were killed on the frontline in recent days. These are the first results of the US suspension of military aid and intelligence to Ukraine: more deaths time.com/7265679/sate...

I really admire this essay. I have taught with it a couple of times this year (with Cristín's permission) as it has great images, rhythm, sounds and heart.

I adore this Taiwanese artist Tung Ming-chin. This sculpture in particular is very relatable these days. It feels like me ignoring how the other place is really too misshapen to spend time in, so am popping my head up here.
