Over the moon to be part of @winterpapers.bsky.social. It’s a joy to be sharing my essay ‘Mid-Life Music Lessons’ as part of this beauty alongside so many whose work I admire. The launch is @dublinbookfest.bsky.social next Sat, Nov 8. Here’s to music, winter reading & dreaming the future.

Every year this gorgeous literary journal releases its line up and everyone goos out loud at the new cover. I think the fact that it's once a year makes it a bit, ye know, designery in its buzz. Fantabulous.
