Reposting here from a lesser platform. #Tuam #Home #Babies #KevinHiggins #Poet #Galway "I am the concerned citizen who never heard their heavy clogs go, by forced marches, up the Dublin Road" - well my dad was and regretted it.

#JeremyCorbyn & Len McCluskey launched poetry anthology #PoetryfortheMany in Galway tonight. Magical evening at a packed Charlie Byrne's, Macnas drumming drifting in on the summer air. Highlight, Jeremy read our friend #KevinHiggins' powerful poem The Restoration, unforgettable x

Poet and activist Kevin Higgins

...though our pale breaths
can only be heard
since your westerly
blew out, and eulogy 
will insist on a date*

Remembering Kevin Higgins, a year to the day after his sad passing 2023-01-10 🖤
