I'll be reading at The Stinging Fly launch on Thursday. A character's personal tempest inside literal one or lesbian road trip with supernatural fairies, damaged bogs, an upturned camper van, high jinx, creepy haunting and winks to The Wizard of Oz & an historic storm that battered Ireland in 1839.

I know I won't be the only one waking up in tears to this news today. So authentically himself that there really was no one like him. A beautiful man who intrigued, schooled and inspired us all. I'm heartbroken for him & for those who loved him. He will be so missed.

Thinking of Sarah Clancy tonight, illegally detained, kidnapped. Sarah, (I know you’ll say that the focus shouldn’t be on you but still…) you’re a legend.

Thinking of Sarah Clancy, always so good at capturing small bytes of humanity, ever moreso now as she's literally sticking up for humanity, while most of us nod off. A great person, hugely kind. 🙏

My friend Sarah Clancy is currently in IOF captivity, kidnapped last night when her boat, part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, was illegally intercepted in international waters.

Some boats are still sailing. Do what you can - wherever you are - to amplify & protest. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
