For one bookshop owner, corneal transplants have been "transformative and so important" - but, with people regularly choosing not to donate them, patients in Northern Ireland are facing a longer wait due to a shortage of available corneas. bbc.in/3MBQ9i8

Demons, geese, The Laughing Cow, marching bands, LSD and pistols smuggled home from the USSR.
A stunning debut collection, bringing the ghettoised working-class into contemporary Irish poetry.

More power to @closeandslow ❤️
I had an amazing time at Listowel Writer’s Week in May. A beautiful, welcoming town. Sadly witnessed some of the barbs aimed Stephen’s way but was impossible to dispute the job he did, loved every minute of it.

I owe @closeandslow an apology. He dealt with my online cussedness with good humour, and he also brought together a wide-ranging and rich programme for Listowel Writers' Week this summer. Looking over it, there's no sense it was geared towards 'northern' writers.

‘could they not have got anyone Irish to do it?’
the vast majority of people at Listowel Writers Week were brilliant, a glorious town, but i saw firsthand how Stephen was treated, both by certain elements in the town, and by festival organisers, and it was a disgrace
i’m starting to feel like i can talk about what happened in listowel

Really looking forward to running a songwriting workshop at @WritersWeek Listowel, Co.Kerry in a few weeks.
“…delving into classic song structure – what makes a song a song? - how to spark creativity, and the recording process.”
