Many thanks to Aifric Mac Aodha for her review of the series ‘File ar Fhile’ which was published by Cois Life in May. The review is published in The Irish Times.

The series is also on the shortlist for Gradam de Bhaldraithe, a new Oireachtas literary award that recognises excellence in translation.

 

Reading in Firenze

 

Florence

It was wonderful to visit Florence/Firenze recently to read with Billy Ramsell and his Italian translator, Lorenzo Mari. Very grateful to my friend Debora Biancheri who translated some of my poems to Italian some years ago. These translations were read on this occasion by writer Giovanni Agnoloni who hosted the event at the gorgeous L’Ora Blu bookshop. Grazie a tutti!
