Ahead of the tenth anniversary of Seamus Heaney’s death, I wrote something for @RTEBrainstorm on slowness, ‘Sunlight’, and Leontia Flynn’s ‘August 30th 2013’

@notsecretGarden You’re far too kind, Alison! Thanks so much for coming and for asking such thoughtful questions!

[Dr. Alison Garden 📚🫀🖊️ @notsecretGarden]

And great to hear @jamescoreilly give a stunningly astute paper, '"Full of conversation"?' on dialogue, peace, politics & poetry. Can't wait to read James's thesis--on poetry & the news--in full; it's such good work!

Such a brilliant week in Cairo for the @IASIL3 conference! Whether in the heat of the desert or the cool of the lecture theatre, so many wonderful things to see and hear. And many thanks to @QUBScholarships for sending me!

@claire_ms_p Absolutely. That sounds really interesting!

[James Costello O’Reilly @jamescoreilly]

Happy #IASILPostgrad day everyone! I work on contemporary Northern Irish poetry and I’m interested in how writers absorb/negotiate/respond to mass media and the news. Would be great to hear from anyone doing something similar!

@DevarshiLodhia I’ll never get over the fact that he’s younger than Brad Pitt

@DevarshiLodhia Very sorry to say you have also been reported

“But man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he’s most assur’d;
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven,
As make the angels weep.”

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

Health Secretary Matt Hancock becomes emotional hearing the words of the first man in the world to receive the vaccine, William Shakespeare.

He tearily says ‘it makes you so proud to be British’.
