Just published by @ShearsmanBooks: A Line of Tiny Zeros in the Fabric - Essays on the Poetry of Maurice Scully, available here: https://t.co/4v3iVZ27cV. With wonderful contributions from @lcollins232, @redochre1, @gentinwait @Michael_Begnal, and others I don't think are on here:
@MEASorg welcomes this important research by @lindacooganB on Gender Disparity in Irish Radio - solid quantitative data illustrating the underrepresentation of women on Irish airwaves. Ní neart go cur le chéile #equality#GenderDisparityRadioIre
I struggled over this piece for a long time, and I can't articulate how important it is to me. It's written in rage and blood.

MEAS is proud to support this initiative. The intersections of privilege, entitlement, exclusion and abuse, coupled with the refusal to reflect on structural bias, must be addressed by proper ethics and governance. #WakeUpIrishPoetry https://t.co/nPiFu90PqY
We interrupt our #GE2020 incessant retweeting to bring you some quite important statements from Anne Enright about ethics and governance in the arts, towards the end of this interview. Please read.

Please read @LedburyCritics' response to @IrishTimes, published by MEAS: '"The absolute bedrock of literary criticism" is, according to Doyle, "selection on merit". But as any critic knows all too well, ‘merit’ is not neutrally applied nor can critical judgements be unbiased.'
