Better
Felt better yesterday, less so today. But never as bad as Sunday.
Still working on cranking out the paper for Thursday, so the next few days are designated Poetry Days around here. I am newly in love with Patrick Kavanagh, so we shall have a rare twice-with-one-poet poetry event.
Comments
I can't recommend strongly enough Anthony Cronin's memoir of literary Dublin Dead as Doornails. Kavanaugh comes across as eccentric, cantankerous, snobbish, and absolutely someone you'd want to have a drink with.
There's also a passage in which Cronin, referring to column-writing, hits on what I think is one of the biggest risks of blogging. It's long enough that pasting it in your comments would be rude, but I quoted it on my site a couple of years ago.
