“I love the way Pádraig Ó Tuama draws poetry into musings on life, and especially appreciate the thoughtful questions in his posts. The newsletter invites you into conversation - even if it's just with yourself.”

“It's inspiring! If you write poetry, you will also learn new things, not only about poetry but also in getting to know yourself in a completely different way than you ever have before.”
