The new manuscript is raucous. I couldn't help myself, really (or stop myself, I can't tell the difference). All I know is, these things NEEDED to be said. And I thought I might be the only one left to say them. So, I did. Thank you, @quailbellmag#poetry#feministart#NYC
"For 800 years they tried to wipe us off the face of the earth! They only succeeded in making us proliferate." Mary Ellen Mullins (My grandma, speaking about English tyrannical rule, one of the last things she said to me, weeks before her 2022 passing) #IrishTwitter#NYCIrish
"Don't be surprised
If I demur, for, be advised
My passport's green.
No glass of ours was ever raised
To toast the Queen."
— Seamus Heaney, "Field Day Pamphlet no.2" (1983)

If England occupies Ireland for another 800 years. The Irish will resist the occupation for 800 more years.
That's why we come down on the same side of the Irish, and with other peoples who are resisting settler colonialism.
That's how solidarity works.

To which James Connolly had a very apt response when the King visited Ireland in 1911
Socialist Republic for Ireland and for all soon to be former colonies 🇮🇪🇭🇲🏴����
