Inhaling @jesstraynor.bsky.social ‘s New Arcana. And this poem… I have no words. Will return to Magpie (among others) regularly. I used to read tarot in my early 20s and got self conscious about engaging with mystery. This collection feels like an old friend. #amreading
Ah thank you Jen this means so much to me xxx

Omar El Akkad: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."
Bono: Have you heard my new EP
Belfast friends we are headed your way on Thursday - would be lovely to see you there ✨️
A few more pics from last night 🌙 ✨️

Dublin, we are launched. Huge congrats to Tim MacGabhann on this gorgeous collection & to @booksupstairs.bsky.social for hoating us.
Found in a Context of Destruction is available from all good bookshops & from @bansheepress.bsky.social
Next stop Belfast - Thurs 19th at No Alibis!
Join us in a raft of exotic locations (Dublin! Belfast! 🌴) this week and next to launch Tim's marvellous debut✨️
“…what will the cops smell like this morning…” Tim MacGabhann’s poetry collection from @bansheepress.bsky.social is a rare work that is actually NEEDED badly in times like these. And on the level of the line, really original and fresh.
Thought One Battle After Another was great craic but DEEPLY unserious - & yes, the most Tarantino of the PTA movies. Like this is not a considered political response to the state of the U.S., it's a silly (incredibly patriarchal) fantasy - & that's ok & fun but can we stop pretending otherwise?
Back on for a nanosecond to share this lovely review of New Arcana by @jennywcreative.bsky.social in Under the Radar. Huge thanks to @ninearchespress.bsky.social for making space for poetry reviews! ✨️

This is really good.
