"At the Sligo quayside, the young poet was treated with deference by the dockhands and sailors who worked for his grandfather, and to his embarrassment hugged on sight by the fishwives who'd known him since he was a baby." @BrianLeyden, first up today @RTERadio1 #treadsoftly

@RositaBoland Carmel and I and first reader Boo wish you stellar success with this very special close to your heart new (Hardcover! ) book.

[Anne O'Brien @WhereIsTheSea]

Wow! I'm thrilled to see both 'Like Fado' from the wonderful @grahammort and 'The End of the World is a Cul De Sac' @KennedyLoulou on this list - both fabulous short story collections and strong contenders for the prize.

As chaucer noted, "Time and tide wait for no man," but @brianleyden is perfectly happy to wait for the tide, guided by his dependable, stapled charts and entertained by a couple of friendly #Sligo dolphins. #AWordInEdgeways @RTERadio1 @shaybyrneradio https://t.co/ryxl5fcktH
