Feel like I’m arriving just as the party’s over. Is there still a #writingcommunity and #poetrycommunity on here? I’m writing, participating, getting stuff out there, but I’m not feeling connected. Who should I follow?

You can grab a copy on Amazon! The most amazing poets were involved in this ❤️

[Kevin MacAlan @KevinInIreland]

Chuffed to be in this.

You’re gonna need a bigger shelf.

[Lauren O'Donovan @LaurenODonovanW]

My favourite shelf. I have no muscles to flex, only books I published or have work in 📚

[Kevin MacAlan @KevinInIreland]

Bien hecho Alan. Every success deserved. Enjoy the launch. 🥂

[Alan Murphy @AllGumsBlazing]

Looking forward to attending this launch in Limerick next Tuesday. My poem "Meatamour" is one of 116 works, by 87 poets, included. Many thanks to editor Victoria Kennefick.

[Kevin MacAlan @KevinInIreland]

I want to read Meatamour.

[Alan Murphy @AllGumsBlazing]

Or "Metamour" even.

[Kevin MacAlan @KevinInIreland]

@Sam_Johnson290 @TrishCrisafulli Marrying too young. 😏

[Kevin MacAlan @KevinInIreland]

Excited that my poem ‘Poetic Justice’ has been added to the brilliant ‘Faith, Hope and Fiction’ website. Huge thanks to @TrishCrisafulli - check it out here: https://t.co/mvrZHgk0m6

[Kevin MacAlan @KevinInIreland]

I’m chuffed to hear that my poem “28.6” will be included in @thewildumbrella print anthology for 2024. You can hear me read it here: https://t.co/XPRzHsroWB

[Kevin MacAlan @KevinInIreland]

[Kevin MacAlan @KevinInIreland]

A week after reading at the launch of An Áitiúl III, I just came across my poem in the original volume from a couple of years ago. Loss and erosion are everywhere. Stay strong.

[Kevin MacAlan @KevinInIreland]

This is going to be so good!

[West Waterford Arts Group @westwaterfordag]
