I'm now editing late November recordings from the Lissagriffin listening station and I'm so happy to hear that the boisterous otter family (actual photo) are still roaming around at night, here bickering over crab pickings! They always seem to fall out when the food appears!

We are Solstice. Solstice is us.

Here is a simple idea to celebrate the winter solstice. It is so quick and easy and everyone likes to make a wish, right?

(found) lines from internationalcuisine.com/winter-solstic On this, the shortest day, gather pinecones, preferably on a nature hike. Write your hopes and intentions for the world this coming year on paper. Tuck the paper in the pinecones, light the solstice fire (safely please, of course!).

Author vulnerability: In NF it’s common to write about other people. But that gaze can sometimes be unkind and judgmental, exploitative at worst, and if you’re holding someone else to the fire, you’d better problematize your power, as the writer, as you do so.

Morocco: ElGrandeToto, 7liwa, Naar… Rap in Darija goes international

Danny Hajjar داني حجار

Dec 14

People are listening “to rap in Darija even though they don’t understand it. What attracts them is the clip, the energy and the richness of the language, the fact that it is constantly changing and absorbing everything without having any linguistic rules”

theafricareport.com

A new wave of Moroccan rappers are gaining international influence with their creative, inclusive lyrics that are crossing borders and breaking language barriers.

Our Guest Specialist Poets are Ishion Hutchinson of

@Cornell

, James O'Leary of

@MunLitCentre

and Mary Noonan of

@UCC

. In a time of polycrisis, we will consider the entangled themes of education, health and justice through these distinct containers.

By extending our sessions both in length and duration, we'll be able to go from planting a poem to publishing it. Can't wait! ♥️

We are delighted to be able to offer a 50% discount on our online poetry masterclasses until December 24th. From January, we'll craft and create new work by considering three distinct buildings. We're also excited to have built in editing & publishing components to our courses.
