So pleased I picked up this book on a whim when visiting the Ulster Museum recently. The beautiful writing and the echoes of my own family stories heard but not lived have brought tears to my eyes and I’m only 13 pages in. Thank you Kerri ní Dochartaigh

A beautiful cover for a beautiful, haunting and deeply affecting book 💗

Aaron Bushnell didn’t take his own life; he gave it—courageously, lucidly—for a cause. May the fire of his beautiful heart light the way for the whole world

Stunned and so grateful for this first review of INTERVALS.

Everything I most wanted the book to capture is here: my mum’s ‘ferocious and transformative energy’; an expansive ethics of care; the power and limits of choice, empathy and imagination.

The Good Friday Agreement recognises the legitimacy of divergent political aspirations. The British government personally blocking arts funding for a group because they aren't Pro-Union goes against the very heart of the GFA, and the basics of artistic freedom and free speech.

Many fantastic things to bid on in this auction to raise money for Palestinian writers at risk, including 1:1 mentoring sessions & manuscript reads with a bunch of different authors, including Kerri ní Dochartaigh, Ellena Savage, Jessica Andrews & me - bid your hearts out for a good cause!

'Art is an act of activism' ✍️ Brava Kerri ní Dochartaigh👏 who will read from her Wainwright Prize longlisted non fiction Cacophony of Bone for the #WritingCommunity of #NorthernSoulRoadshow
