My debut pamphlet 'After Clare' has been out almost a month with @NewWalkEditions so I've decided, I'm embarrassed to admit, to give it a plug! Thanks again to @RoryWaterman and Nick Everett for their brilliant editing and support.

We are heartbroken to hear of the death of Michael Longley, our dear friend of decades and one of the greatest poets Ireland has ever produced. He and SH were the closest of friends, sparring partners, brother poets. Our thoughts with Edna and his family. May he rest in peace.

What awful news. Surely our foremost poet. His poems could up-end you like a drug. Entirely attuned to the natural world, and the strangeness of worlds just beyond our senses. Novelist, essayist, columnist - a mighty talent. https://t.co/ejcS8DjX4K
