My lovely Mum Lottie died yesterday morning. She had a rare debilitating condition called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).
Heartfelt thanks to all my friends who have been there for me during her illness.
Details of her funeral are here:

Have a read.

Please read this incredible essay by @VKennefick. Not only is she a beautiful, extraordinarily gifted writer, but also an amazing human. Wise, funny, kind and generous. I'm so lucky to know her.
My then spouse, the person I considered to be my husband, came out as a trans woman during lockdown irishtimes.com/life-style/pe…
Like my second collection, 'egg/shell' (@Carcanet) this was challenging to write, but necessary. Solidarity & love to the trans community always 🩷🤍🩵

PS. Can Jan do a quiz every year?
✨ Day 6 ✨
There are only two days left of the Belfast Book Festival – we don't want it to end! 📚

Happy publication day to @beingvarious. Writing I can't wait to step into. #Openings
‘I still sometimes wonder if one could draw a window in the wall, or in the air, and step through it together. To somewhere else, entirely new.’
Openings, the new collection from @beingvarious, is out today.
Great insight and advice here from @beingvarious. Her new collection #Openings is out later this week.

Amen.

"A truly impressive debut from a storyteller who knows how to control the rhythm and poetry of her narrative. I was immersed in that unique Irish landscape, the mystery of ‘the man,’ and the collective experience of the place" – Xiaolu Guo
