| View from my room at The Tyrone Guthrie Centre |
The photo is my view from my room at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, I was kindly granted a residency there by Kildare Arts Office. That week meant an awful lot to me, a good friend and relative died recently, and I spent the time writing poems for him. It gave me the space I really needed, and as usual at I met some amazing and kind people.
I'm off to Dublin today to read with some great writers, Janet Cameron and Gavin Corbett. We'll be in the Irish Writers Centre at 4pm. Everyone is welcome to come along. The event is part of the
Dublin Book Festival.
Later tonight you can hear me live on radio, if you dare :) I'll be interviewed on Radio Active.ie by Anita White. Anita's an inspiration, and old friend of mine. She owns the magnificent online beauty resource
Dolled Up.ie .We'll be on at 10pm, taking requests, gabbing and having some fun.

What a lovely photo and post. Retreats are a necessary writer's tool I believe. I'm somewhat thinking of my time here in the wilds of Labrador (which would be ALL of it) as a massive retreat. I'm kind of jonesing for a real job right now but perhaps if I just buckle down and go deeper I will appreciate what I have - silence, beauty and no earthly distractions (other than the internet - gah!) Hope you are doing well and I still hope you get some press about your wonderful book over here in the new world!
Sorry to hear about your friend, but glad you had a good place to be and poems to create.
