I'll mostly be hanging out on Instagram and Bluesky from now on. I love this creative, supportive literary corner of the Twitterverse, just not Twitter as a whole. You can follow me on bsky.app/profile/dilys.bsky.… and/or instagram.com/dilys.wt

The thing with writing is that, no matter your publications so far, with each piece you start all over with a blank page and the exact same doubts: will anyone actually like / want to read this?

Delighted to be part of Poetry in the Park. Such a wonderful idea. If you're Cork in the next month, see if you can spot some verse. I hear Gerry O' Sullivan Park might be a good spot 😉🌳. Big thanks to @HowlWriting and @poetryireland for making this happen.

Poetry on public display!🙌
Poetry in the Park features twelve poets published in @HowlWriting. The poems are now on display in six Cork City parks through the end of March.

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to everyone at @PassengersPress. I was a very green poet with only a couple of published poems under my belt when they took me on as a reader. Goodbyes are always bittersweet, but happy pub day and thank you to everyone in the winter issue!

Felt this in my bones. And hypo thyroid. And vitiligo patches.

The parentified daughter becoming the adult with an autoimmune disease is a missing link in health. A lifetime of carrying everyone else’s burdens will always show up in the body.

Is anyone else writing poems with absolutely no assurance they will ever be read or wanted? Could we give each other a shout out here just to say there's a road ahead? 🚦

Today I missed my train, realised I have to rewrite my WIP draft from scratch. slipped on stairs, missed an @IronAndWine gig to get X-Rays that showed I broke my toe, got yelled at by the Uber driver for 'walking slow', and left my house keys in the other coat. How was your day?

This remains.
"[T]he role of the artist is to transcend conventional wisdom, to transcend the word of the establishment, to transcend the orthodoxy, to go beyond and escape what is handed down by the government or what is said in the media."

Editors: when you’ve had time to mourn, I want to see you move every BIPOC and queer submission to the top of your reading pile. Then *buy them.* Publish them. Fuck the celebrity books. Fuck performative mswl lists. Actually BUY them. Give me faith in something. Have courage.

Me. I want all the risky books. It’s the only way I know how to fight back.

"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal."

The world is an even more depressing place this morning. People of colour, minorities of all sorts briefly had a moment when we could pretend we were equal to those who have always held power. But not anymore. Better a rapist than a woman of colour?
