Seán Hewitt was at Kennys' tonight for the launch of his new book Open, Heaven— his first novel. Judging by the wonderful readings, it sounds lyrical, rich, and deeply moving. A real pleasure to meet Seán, and lovely to see Victoria Kennefick again too. Best of luck with the book, Seán! #Cúirt

I was sorry to hear of the passing of #JenniferJohnston. It was a great pleasure to meet her—a writer of rare warmth & quiet brilliance. I’ll always treasure the book she signed for me, not just for her written words but for the kindness behind them. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

A word for #FrankSkinner's Poetry podcast. If you have even the slightest interest in poems, poets, ideas, life- try it. It's a gentle masterclass, with humour and wit. Lovely to see it back for a 10th series. Here's the wonderful ep. on Jessica Traynor open.spotify.com/episode/3Qmr...

I had this talk with a friend the other day. He said that AI has come for creative work first, because it’s subjective. And nobody cares that much, because there is a lot of distaste for the arts and entertainment world in this society at this time. But it CAN and WILL come for other jobs.

“Head of citizenship with the Department of Justice Darragh Brennan instead spoke and told the crowd that the word for citizen in Irish was “saoránach”, which stemmed from the word “saor”, meaning free. “Today you all are free citizens of Ireland,” Mr Brennan said.” Beautiful word, saoránach 😍
