"Listen! the wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings, now for #October eves!"

Craoltóir, scríbhneoir agus Gael. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

Thar na blianta, chruthaigh sé & chuir sé i láthair an t-uafás cláracha do TnaG & TG4. Tá oidhreacht shaibhir fágtha aige dúinn a thabharfaidh inspioráid don chéad ghlúin eile 🕯️

Honoured to have an essay in Bread Alone, a ground-breaking and important anthology from @indienovella.bsky.social featuring 32 working-class writers, collated and edited by award-winning journalist Kate Pascal. Pub: 9 March 2026. Pre-order: t.co/9AwOtMjLXC

Cover of book, with highlighted line in blue: "we often hear about towns decimated by the closure of coal pits or steelworks; cotton towns, with their largely brown workforce, didn't generate the same headlines - or sympathies. Words Beyond Walls, Iqbal Hussain."

I know I'm banging on.

But we have to because we're a small press and need this limelight to let readers know about our books.

From Hebden to Hollywood via Dublin.

As Rónán said. 'It's like throwing a dart from Dublin and hitting the bullseye in New York.'
