I was delighted to be back head-lining Verbose Manchester at Kings Arm, Salford. I read excerpts from Still Lives as well as some of my recent poetry.
Books take you on amazing journeys and my novel, #TheInheritance, has me headed to NewYork’s legendary @IrishArtsCenter on April 16th to chat with @mnutty of @irishstewcast fame! Do join if you are in the #BigApple🍎🇮🇪🙋🏽♀️
A golden day in Ambleside - perfect for reflecting on poetic responses to this ‘Cultural Landscape’ on the part of those poets who have been inspired to write about this place via writing residency experiences, including Fleur Adcock and the wonderful @ReshmaRuia 📚🍃
