“I might be a bin, but he’s rubbish”. My work here is done

Oof. Seems a must read for me …

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

Ladies and gentlemen… Derek Mahon .

Aw! Beautiful message from my daughters on my Father’s Day card: ‘We have come to accept that you are probably doing your best.’

I saw the book in @omahonysbooks.bsky.social yesterday and thought “what a great title”… now I am super interested in it. Thanks @hotpress.com

Some great Canadian poets you should be reading, a propos of nothing Mark Strand (yes, he is Canadian, from the Maritimes, hands off, Yankees) Gwendolyn MacEwen Don Domanski P. K. Page Elizabeth Brewster Marya Fiamengo And you should absolutely be reading Jan Zwicky

Go Glasgow!

A cold mirror in hand He notices the monkeys face Is now also grey :)

Absolutely loving this. Refreshing in its construction, metaphor, its angle of incidence to the materials. In its playfulness. If poetry is boring you these days, try this.

Nice one Eleanor!

Treasuring my little dude …

I love the scale of the physical book, the graphics for the page numbers, The shifting layout of right and left margins … 💯% @fsgbooks.bsky.social It does help that a book is well made in my opinion. Looking forward to reading it.

Well @poemakontsa.bsky.social this just arrived :)

Making my way though Ciaran O’Driscoll’s Moving On, Still There and refound this lovely one

A great writer teaches you how to read their poems, with their poems. Icon weight. I’ll wait. So. ;)

“I know it’s not a book shelf but It’s right beside me”….

They are still pretty much fresh as a daisy !

Loved the last book, so this is a treat for the weekend.

It’s just two full rooms of people here at The People’s Museum Limerick to hear Vivienne McKenchie launch her new collection.

Worth hearing @ravoon.bsky.social read the poems. Found myself recently standing somewhere saying the world Craquelure because that’s how these things work… youtu.be/zI0F4DbAvXs?...

Sometimes I do indeed look like my dog has dressed me…

Sleep tight .

Good luck to him.

Elms by Louise Glück www.divasofverse.com/2026/04/elms...

You don’t meet many poems that have this kind of kick in the chest….

The collision of mRNA and AI will be a revolution. RFK will go down in history as just another zealot . It’s not perfect, but it is a path.

@joriegraham.bsky.social a fantastic reading of one of your To 2040 poems here …. About 20 mins in  podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/t... cc @dapowell.bsky.social

A poet to the very core. His Erotic Haiku is still one of my all time favourite books. One of a kind indeed. 👏 R.I.P.

Go five mins in: Jane Robinson reading an absolutely mighty poem. What a find she is. 👏 podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/t...

Mmm didn’t know a trump knew ashbery … impressive .

Spring equinox The morning flowers Yellow, cold.

Gotta love Nick Lantz. I think it might have been Sam Riviere that turned me on to him in a review …

I fell in love with that word, Cazique, though I couldn’t find its meaning in any book my father owned. It broke the shackles in my brain: just thinking it or speaking it made me taller, other – simply more. 'Cazique' Matthew Clegg 50% off this weekend longbarrowpress.com/current-publ...

Very impressive poems . There are so many talented poets out there and I’m grateful for them all. www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

Made a random promise to myself “Read more essays”. You know, the ones not about poetry.

Moon in the dark hour The moss bends its back To the rain.

Oooh ! Dark Night by St John of the Cross, translated by Martha Sprackland sounds absolutely inspired ..
