As the National Ploughing Championships get underway today, we are looking at Heaney’s poem, ‘Follower' from his first collection in 1966. In this first section of the poem, Heaney celebrates his father's expertise and describes the process of ploughing a field. #Ploughing24
Happy belated first birthday to WHAT THE LIGHT LEAVES HIDDEN and many thanks to Andrew Saulters for all the work he did to get it out in the world. The first edition hardback is sold out but there are still plenty in paper. https://t.co/IwiUNOWnby

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.

I attended the Biden event in Los Angeles last night. Fantastic, but it made me think about a few things.
I’ve been around a minute. Lived through several Presidential races. I remember not being excited about the candidates, but I have never in my life fixed my lips to say, I’m not voting because of it. Neither did my grandparents who survived Jim Crow and were not always welcomed at the polls.
I don’t understand folks who are saying that today.
Your top issue isn’t being talked about enough or going the way you think it should? Let’s survive now and live to fight another day. But first, look beyond what you’re seeing covered by the media, because Biden is not getting the same coverage that Trump is getting. And much of that coverage is skewed. It’s likely your issue is being worked on and you have been heard — so look deeper!
We don’t have to invite the candidates over for tea and crumpets, but staying home when we have the Supreme Court that we have, is short-sided and a disservice to those of us who see Trump as the number one danger that he is promising to be.
NO CHOICE — IS A CHOICE FOR TRUMP!!!
