I interview a lot of people, but I rarely get as excited as I am about speaking to Keith O'Keefe at the launch of his new pamphlet 'The Business of Poetry'.
An amazing, well-costed new publication from @factotums. At the @BlackBoxBelfast on Sunday 19th. https://t.co/EbkvR4nt0Y
Business poet Keith O'Keefe in conversation with Hugh Odling Smee and a rare reading of his poems; ‘Ode to Moy Park’,'The Ballad of Sean Quinn’. O'Keefe will also sign copies of his new collection followed by a party for Vacuum NI 100 edition. https://t.co/iGBWxkdyv9
Delighted to get a copy of The Vacuum NI💯 from @factotums, though disappointed to realise that I’d missed one of the cultural highlights of this important year in Northern Ireland’s history.
@StarlingStart No, it was a success. Copies of the paper have been sent (or are being sent) to anyone who got one via the fundraiser, other perks to follow.
Looking for a Vacuum? It's now been delivered to 120 venues in and around Belfast. Also available in libraries. See a copy, pick it up, then all day, you'll not be stuck (for something to read).
The special "NI 100" edition of The Vacuum is a wondrous thing. A panacea for our dismal centenary blues. I highly recommend swiping a copy while you can.
Very pleased to have made my own modest contribution in the guise of my alter ego Dawson Gollogly (what a guy).
I was asked to write a section of children's book about the Sunningdale Agreement for the centenary edition of The Vacuum. So I did.
Oh, and they're all shrews.
Look at those drawings. Aren't they gorgeous? I don't know who Fionnuala Doran is, but she's amazing.
Two days left to acquire these collector’s items of commemorative crockery and support The Vacuum’s Northern Ireland 100 issue, which is also available here. https://t.co/VmMOMHknbs
