60 years ago today we lost her. It is testament to her brilliance that her work burns on. We have so much to thank you for, Sylvia💔

Allow me briefly here to blissfully wallow in the fact that my Insta DMs are on fire 🔥 because interested, thoughtful, ambitious and curious Leaving Cert students want to discuss my poem (let's not ruin this with CAO talk 😂🙊)

My then spouse, the person I considered to be my husband, came out as a trans woman during lockdown irishtimes.com/life-style/peo… Like my second collection, 'egg/shell' (@Carcanet) this was challenging to write, but necessary. Solidarity & love to the trans community always 🩷🤍🩵
