Here I am recording the introduction for our just-out Staatsgalerie media guide (mediaguide.staatsgalerie.de/en/sammlung/) with Sui Lung & Katharina Rohne in the cozy media office of Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. Many thanks to Toni Bernhart for acting as our recording tech!

Working with students at the University of Stuttgart & Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, our media guide, 'The Poetics of Sight,' is available in English, German & Ukrainian. Please check it out & luxuriate in sensory-filled descriptions for blind & deaf individuals: mediaguide.staatsgalerie.de/en/sammlung/

My thanks to the editors, Ralf Haekel & Caroline Lusin, & to EFACIS for Review of Irish Studies in Europe 7.2 New Voices and New Directions in Twenty-First-Century Irish Writing; my contribution is on the brilliant Stephen Sexton & his elegy on Ciaran Carson: risejournal.eu/index.php/ri...

We thank Stephen de Búrca & Bebe Ashley who flew in from Belfast for a two-day workshop on 24 & 25 of January on ‘extra-sensory’ Irish poetry & Braille poems in a collaboration with Dillmann-Gymnasium & the English Literatures dept at Uni Stuttgart. We thank the School for Talents for their support!

To hear on SoundCloud the German translations of the Poetry Jukebox Ambiguities/Ambiguitäten curation: soundcloud.com/user-8154161.... Many thanks to the 23 brilliant students who participated in the project!

Yesterday our bilingual Poetry Jukebox was installed by a crew who flew in from Belfast to ensure that the poems were loud enough, but not booming! We thank www.zeitgeistirland24.com & Quotidian.ie for their support for this public arts initiative of bringing Irish poetry to Stuttgart.

We are excited to host in 2024 a bilingual English/German Poetry Jukebox at Uni Stuttgart as part of Zeitgeist Irland 24; many thanks to Maria McManus at Quotidian, Culture Ireland & Ireland Embassy Berlin! www.zeitgeistirland24.com/event/poetry...

In our Ecologies of Sound workshop last weekend, we were also joined by Scott McKendry and Alex Alonso, who spoke about the poet inspirations of FELISPEAKS & Ciaran Carson. Then we recorded a radio show with Lion Oeding of HORADS 88,6 & Katharina as our second sound engineer.

It has been our pleasure to have Helen Cullen at the University of Stuttgart for two creative writing workshops: Ecologies of Sound & Readings of Form. Thanks to the EFACIS Irish itinerary, the Dept of English Literatures & the School for Talents. Helen's tips on revision were genius!
