Hello to all man of aran subscribers! It will soon be just two months since I started this Substack, and I fully intend to carry on. At the current pace, I’ve been going at a rate of two poems per week. That may vary in the future, but one of the great things about doing this is it has inspired me to write more and engage more with visual art. Also very motivating is knowing there are readers like you out there, so I want to thank you all very much for your interest, and I hope you are enjoying what I do.
I also want to thank all those who have shared or recommended man of aran. I know many of you found me through the recommendation of one person in particular, and that is the wonderful, inimitable Patti Smith! So I want to send a huge thanks to her for her support. If you are not already one of her subscribers, I suggest you look to becoming one. Click the link. She is one of a kind!
So in gratitude, I would love to hear from you, any comments, suggestions or critiques! you might have. If so inclined, write something in the comments section. In the meantime, another man of aran poem will drop on the weekend. All the best!
