@nassershussain @poetryireland @ILFDublin I believe it will be recorded, but i could be wrong.
I'm not too sure about the streaming though.

On my way to Dublin for the @poetryireland Introductions readings!
Super excited to be performing alongside such immense talent as part of @ILFDublin

If you're around Merrion Square at all over the next three days, pop in!

[Karson Lafferty @Karsy__]

The bus just pulled over on the side of a very busy motorway so some guy could pop into the bushes for a pish.

Never seen service like it.

[Karson Lafferty @Karsy__]

Obviously I've just listened to the entirety of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in solidarity

[Karson Lafferty @Karsy__]

Looking around this bus, it is very apparent My Chemical Romance are playing in Dublin tonight. My teenage heart is very jealous.

If you've reached out to me recently regarding Word Vomit happenings, I promise I'll get back to you soon. Been a crazy few days of poemy goodness, but I'll have the head screwed back on soon x

[Karson Lafferty @Karsy__]

That's me coming back into Belfast now after such an enriching weekend at @poetryireland HQ for the Intros '22 workshops with @Anthony1983 @JessicaTraynor6 and @NiChurr

Thanks so much to everyone for being so generous with your time and energy.

See you all at @ILFDublin !!
