Thanks Helen ! It was as usual a wonderful, informative read about the current Canlit market. Ireland is high on my list of places to travel. Cannot wait to visit.
Dear Helen: Excellent blog issue. I am now ready to move to Ireland. I too have been greatly influenced by the classic Irish writers, like Beckett: "Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order."
Very interesting Helen. Thanks. You may be interested in a radio programme currently on BBC Radio 4 called How the Irish Shaped Britain. Hosted by Fergal Keane
Love this! Keep them coming Helen. I've found myself reading Irish authors of late, somewhat haphazardly and have loved "being there". Would love to get there in person some day. Your newsletter is a treat!
Thanks for this wonderful news letter, and I can truly identify with your feelings about Ireland, because I love it too. It is the home of my ancestors, and I felt that connection immediately upon arrival on Irish soil...it was immediate and profound. The very first morning after getting up and having a full Irish breakfast, I walked to the edge of a cliff on the north coast of Co. Antrim, and said out loud "I'm back," and it was like electricity flowed through me...never have I had a feeling like that before anywhere. Congratulations on your new script, and hopefully the work will continue until a film is made! All the best, and stay safe Helen!
The mystery and mystic of Ireland. What a great topic.
Happy New Year and congratulations on your novel, Helen! Thanks for your newsletter; I enjoyed reading your personal shares. Hope you’re well.
Another great addition filled with interesting & informative material. Brava, Helen!
