A copy of The Two Roberts by Damian Barr with a gospel tract ‘A Message from the King’
Oh the irony. Reading #TheTwoRoberts to Paddington in Newtonards and a man gave me a gospel tract! So, for good measure, I shared #Miriam’sSistersDeborah’sDaughters #IrelandTour

Taking The Two Roberts to Ireland for the weekend- possibly more celebrated here than in their home towns! #TheTwoRoberts #stenaline #MayboletoKildare

As this is the year of @damianbarr.bsky.social's #TheTwoRoberts, it was great to bump into some of their work in #Dundee's wonderful McManus Art Gallery & Museum, and to see their story told with such kindness and respect in the labels.

Glasgow is ‘a city of stars in search of an audience.’
It was great to rediscover the city through the eyes of Bobby and Robert.

Can’t wait for @damianbarr.bsky.social’s #TheTwoRoberts, & this piece is excellent. Much chimes with my queer women farmers of the rural homefront in #GhostsoftheFarm (though in a far quieter way!) who were so different from their ‘Bloomsberry’ neighbours. But so much chimes with then & now, look!

This… oof. ‘How hate rushes in to take up all the space meant for love’ Wise, vulnerable, strong & tender. Can’t wait to read @damianbarr.bsky.social’s #TheTwoRoberts as a treat for reducing my tbr pile at some point!

@damianbarr.bsky.social what an absolutely beautiful, poignant and fascinating read #TheTwoRoberts is. I devoured it. A painting in words. Incredible and will stay with me. Sorry, I'm gushing a bit but the easiest 5 stars in a long time. Thank you.
