Launch of my new collection of poetry 'May Swim' in Hodges Figgis, Dublin, on May 22nd at 6.30pm. All welcome! Bloodaxe Books Poetry Ireland With thanks to Sinéad Mac Aodha, who is graciously doing the honours Literature Ireland

Green Bottle Press is open for submissions for the month of April. I loved working with Jennifer Grigg on my pamphlet, 'Holding Distance'. Poets, consider sending a 10-page work sample to this wonderful home for your poems. More info: greenbottlepress.com/submission-gui…

I guess this is familiar territory, yet on seeing it expressed in this way, I feel the touch of madness there is in the creative act.
