| Namoredeira from Brazil |
I am reading tonight with Seamus Scanlon at the Dominican Hall, The Claddagh, Galway as part of the
Artistic Atlas celebrations. I don't read often in Galway so that's kind of fun. 6pm, admission free. Please come!

Belfast was fab, I must say. Again, I took very few pics (too busy walking, eating and enjoying the sights and shops.) I loved Marisol Morales Ladrón's eco-critical look at my novel
YOU, at the
IASIL Conference at Queen's University. She was spot-on in her assessment of the importance of the river in the book. It is fascinating to hear your work talked about by academics - they go to the heart of it so much more than critics.
Gracias, Marisol :)

This particular conference is like the queen of Irish Studies conferences so there were lots of the lovely people there whom I met in Brazil last August, including Laura Izarra who brought me the
namoredeira above, the statue you see in so many windows in the north of Brazil. Sweet :)
