I had the pleasure of helping bring the O'Brien/New Theatre archive to Maynooth - international socialism, the Spanish Civil War, artistic spats and more: there's a great doctoral project on it for someone seeking to apply to IRC/Hume at Maynooth

Wrote a book

[BRAN Poetry @BranPoetry]

@jocularfowl ... if Intellect
Itself were absolute law, sufficient grace,
Our lives could be a myth of captivity
Which we might enter: an unpeopled region
Of ever new-fallen snow, a palace blazing
With perpetual silence as with torches. GH

(something dangerous, too?)

Pleased to see this article on Levy and decolonial cosmopolitanism out in @JournalofModLit. It engages with Fanon's warning below that nationalism ≠ anticolonialism. thanks to @PriyamvadaGopal for hosting at Cambridge where ideas in this paper were first tested

@deirdre_canavan @Gail_McConnell_ @the_cwwa great news, Deirdre - congratulations!

AI is costly to the planet & a product of what Coleridge called 'fancy' "always the ape, and too often the adulterator and counterfeiter of our memory", which is parasitic and creates nothing, unlike the Imagination

[BRAN Poetry @BranPoetry]

@ivanobp @SCA_MULibrary thanks for sending it our way, Ivan! Delighted to have such a vital archive and its (hopeful!) warning that we can act now for tomorrow might be too late

[BRAN Poetry @BranPoetry]

¡No pasaran! To celebrate the news from France, some photos from the poet and anti-fascist Tom O'Brien's archive in @SCA_MULibrary

[Ivan O'Brien @ivanobp]

@BranPoetry @SCA_MULibrary It’s great that grandad’s archive is in Maynooth where researchers are actively engaging with his extraordinary life, and those of other brave Irish anti-fascists in the 1930s and beyond.
