"Your work, unlike so much poetry I read, is so gentle, I love it, like being chatted to by someone I trust". Selima Hill said this. Selima Hill said this about my new book. Selima Hill said this about my new book in this spectacular card I received in today's post. Selima Hill!

@PoetPaulBirtill here's a quick poem I wrote featuring your good self

@rudkin_abigail a point at Goodison is not a disaster. if we'd equalised in the last minute we'd have been happy with it. Still 7 points clear.

Dancing on ice has to be one of the worst shows on tv

@saltedcaramelle None of that is remotely true. You just haven't found the right journal for the right poem at the right time yet.

@BenceValerie She is very cute and very friendly, but we'd have no-one to look after her when we're away, so unfortunately it's best she finds a nice home somewhere else.

@JulesJumping Thanks Julie. She's snoozing away at the moment.

Sad to hear this event is now cancelled as Billy Collins is unwell and can't make the journey from the US. Hope it's nothing serious and that he is on the mend soon. Hopefully he'll visit another time.

@EndaBoyle1 @SHHomePlace True. Who saw that coming!!

@BenceValerie @SHHomePlace I'd would be too Valerie! Was that the Fish Publishing competition?

@blackboughpoems @Alayanabeth Another option I like instead of bold or underline, is using a significantly larger font for the title

RT @arealmofwonder: A fine offering from a very highly regarded Irish poet 🤌 Paula Meehan • @PaulaJMeehan

@arealmofwonder @PaulaJMeehan Fabulous! Did you know that Paula & Billy Collins are visiting my little village Bellaghy in a week or so for a good old chin wag? I'll be there to listen in!

A really pleasing recent review of my book ☺️

@saltedcaramelle @TopTweetTuesday Thank you so much for your insightful comments, I really appreciate your time and support!

Can't argue with that
