I’ve been keeping this secret for a while… OPEN, HEAVEN, my debut novel, will be out in 2025. It’s a love story, in its own way. I hope you’ll enjoy it. 🇮🇪/ 🇬🇧: @JonathanCape 🇺🇸/ 🇨🇦: @AAKnopf 🇮🇹: @Einaudieditore 🇩🇪: @suhrkamp 🇳🇱: @arbeiderspers

Very happy to have been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature this evening. Signed the roll with George Eliot’s pen, which I found out too late was a quill. Couldn’t find a photo of myself with my eyes open so we’re having to make do with this @RSLiterature

In a very glam turn of events, Chinese perfumer Aromag 岩兰 contacted me last year because they’d made a new scent based on my poetry. Top notes of blackcurrant, shiso and petitgrain with moss, jasmine, &, you guessed it, wild garlic I’ll be wearing it to every event I do

“what happens when, gazing back in time, we see a world without us? That idea of a world without us is a lie, & the gaps in its history are no accident. Look closer, look longer, & what might first appear as a black sky suddenly seems to sparkle with a hundred constellations.”

It's a great honour to be asked to give this year's Seamus Heaney Memorial Lecture, in partnership with @HeaneyCentre and @NDIrishStudies . I'll be speaking about Heaney's sense of touch, about how poems touch us, and how we touch the world through poems.

It shouldn't need to be said that not having read Ulysses, or not being able to identify minor characters from Ulysses, doesn't make people stupid, and it certainly doesn't take away those people's right to voice a political opinion.
