David Bowie in tights left a lasting impression at an impressionable age, thanks to “Labyrinth”… But Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn did the “sticking your hand into a dark hole” trope way more stylishly 😉

…they seem to like tunnels… ALOT!

Screengrab from the Visit Faroe Islands website showing a map of planned tunnel projects.

Crazy about tunnels: Faroese build tunnels like no other. We love them. The 18 islands making out the Faroe Islands has 53,000 inhabitants and now 20 tunnels, of which three are long tunnels under the sea. Two more are already under construction, and another 14 are on the drawing board or wish list.

The 8th Poetry Lounge is coming up with moderators Ger Duffy, @frankfarrelly.bsky.social , Peggy McCarthy and MC Mary Howlett. #Poetry #PoetryCommunity #PoetsOnBluesky #skypoets #writingcommunity #booksky #poetrysky #waterford #speirgorm #ireland

We are delighted to invite you to attend our 8th Poetry Lounge in Waterford Gallery of Art on Saturday 15th February, from 2 - 4 pm.

The poetry phenomenon known as Femina Culpa are coming to read their work:
- Linda McKenna - Four Thousand Keys, Doire Press;
- Milena Williamson - Into the Night that Flies so Fast, Dedalus Press; and
- Emma McKervey - Highland Boundary Fault, Turas Press.
The subject of each collection explores an aspect of women and crime. McKenna's book reports on a woman who stole 4 thousand keys to public buildings in the city of London. Williamson's book retells the story of Bridget Cleary (from Clonmel) who was burned by her own family after her husband accused her of being a changeling. McKervey's book is concerned with love letters written by her great grandparents, which were intercepted and were the subject of a Sheriff's court case. Moderators will be Peggy McCarthy, Frank Farrelly, Ger Duffy and MC Mary Howlett.
