'The ending of All of Us Strangers strikes a chord with audiences, eliciting a range of emotions from empathy to catharsis as Adam grapples with his past and embraces the present.

The All Of Us Strangers Ending Explained

All of Us Strangers is a deeply emotional and introspective film that explores themes of loss, trauma, and the complexities of human relationships. The ending, in particular, offers a poignant resolution to Adam's journey as he grapples with his past and confronts his inner demons.

The revelation of Adam's childhood trauma, including the loss of his parents in a car accident, serves as a catalyst for his emotional journey throughout the film. His encounters with his parents' apparitions provide moments of solace and closure, yet also highlight his struggle to let go and move forward.

The final scene, where Adam begs for one last day with his parents, encapsulates the film's themes of acceptance and letting go. As his parents gradually fade away, Adam is forced to confront the reality of his loss and find strength in his memories.

The inclusion of Harry's death adds another layer of complexity to the narrative, highlighting the transient nature of life and the importance of cherishing the moments we have with loved ones. Adam's decision to stay by Harry's side, even in death, underscores his capacity for empathy and compassion. Overall, the ending of "All of Us Strangers" is both heartbreaking and hopeful, offering a nuanced portrayal of grief and the power of human connection.

The All Of Us Strangers

All of Us Strangers sounds like a captivating adaptation of Taichi Yamada's novel, blending elements of romance and fantasy with a talented cast and the creative vision of director Andrew Haigh. Premiering at the prestigious Telluride Film Festival and receiving critical acclaim is a testament to the film's quality and impact.

The stellar performances of Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell, and Claire Foy likely contributed to the film's success, bringing depth and emotion to their characters. It's impressive to see the film garner recognition from institutions like the National Board of Review and receive multiple nominations at the BAFTA Awards, highlighting its significance in the realm of independent cinema.

With its release in both the United States and the United Kingdom, "All of Us Strangers" has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on audiences worldwide, inviting them to explore themes of love, loss, and the supernatural. It's a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of film to transport viewers to other worlds while resonating with universal emotions.

The All Of Us Strangers Plot

In All of Us Strangers, lonely London screenwriter Adam meets his neighbor Harry, who tries to flirt with him while drunk. Adam, initially hesitant, eventually reciprocates Harry's interest after a visit to his childhood home where he encounters the spirits of his deceased parents.

As Adam and Harry grow closer, Adam opens up about his struggles, including coming out as gay to his mother and dealing with the trauma of losing his parents at a young age. Their relationship deepens, but Adam's unresolved issues with his past continue to haunt him, especially when he imagines a future with Harry while under the influence of drugs.

Through encounters with his parents' spirits and moments of introspection, Adam gradually comes to terms with his grief and accepts the need to let go of his parents' memory to find happiness. This realization is reinforced when he discovers Harry dead in his apartment, prompting Adam to comfort his spirit and find solace in their shared connection. Ultimately, All of Us Strangers is a story about love, loss, and the healing power of acceptance, told through the lens of a poignant and supernatural romance.

☆!

Oooh, let's talk about the Steve and Peggy not-dance in Of Home Near 8, since this was a scene I rewrote a couple of times, and the final version is drastically different from the previous versions. (Which I've included here too.)

This scene is set in the Stork Club, the nightclub where Steve and Peggy were supposed to have their date in CATFA. There is a real Stork Club that was around in the 1940s, but it was in New York City, not London. There was also another Stork Club in London, but from what I could find it wasn't around until the 1950s. (It's currently called the Cuckoo Club.) I'm not sure if the one mentioned in the film is meant to be the NYC one or the London one. After angsting about it I just made it a London nightclub, but it's not meant to be based on the real Stork Club or have any real internal geography.

The back of his neck prickled as he began to make his slow meandering way through the crowd, turning his head from side to side as if he was searching for someone. Despite the music and the general festive atmosphere, Steve had the sensation that he was in enemy territory, like the occupied cities on the continent he had passed through during the war, aware that someone – maybe more than one someone – was watching him with their hand on their gun. Even before the past two years on the run he had gotten used to the feeling of looking over his shoulder and not showing off that that was what he was doing; since then it had become second nature.

The first rule of going on the run is don’t run, walk, Natasha’s voice whispered in his memory. He wasn’t on the run again, not yet, but the same principle applied.

This scene is meant to mirror Steve's Wanda-induced vision in Age of Ultron, as Steve later realizes, so this entire section is pulled straight out of AoU. Except that they're just at a regular nightclub with a regular band, not a USO band.

There was a dreamlike air to his passage through the nightclub, in the flare of the women’s skirts on the dance floor and the steady pulse of the swing music, so unlike what he had gotten used to in the twenty-first century. Someone popped the cork on a champagne bottle near him and Steve flinched, startled by the sound and the spray of the liquid that caught the edge of his left hand. Flashbulbs popped nearby, a couple of photographers taking pictures of the dancers and various couples and groups at the round tables, making Steve jerk instinctively away as if they had been muzzle flashes instead.

He turned quickly at the sound of raised voices, just in time to see two soldiers shoving at each other, a third quickly getting between them. On his other side, one soldier wiped spilled wine from another’s shirt, both men laughing, the red liquid looking horrifyingly like blood in the room’s dim light.

I’ve been here before, Steve thought suddenly. Not the Stork Club; he would have remembered that. There was an oddly hollow quality to the memory, unreal somehow, and it was that which let him place it.

Wanda.

Three years ago in South Africa on Ulysses Klaue’s ship. It wasn’t an exact replica of the induced vision – no USO banner behind the band, the music was different, no MPs – but it was close enough to raise the hair on the back of his neck. Which meant –

He turned before Peggy could speak.

He hadn’t seen her before she had left headquarters, but somehow it wasn’t a surprise to see that she was wearing exactly what she had worn in Wanda’s vision – blue dress, silver earrings, a red silk flower pinned to her right shoulder. Whatever she had been about to say died unspoken at the expression on his face; after a moment where they just stared at each other, she said, “Are you all right?”

“I –” Steve hesitated. “I owe you a dance.”

From here on I rewrote this entire section. In the first few versions of the scene, Peggy essentially came to terms with Steve not being the same guy who went into the ice, which is the exact opposite of what happens in the final version. (I'll put both alternate versions of the scene at the end.)

Her eyebrows went up. “Don’t worry,” she said. “Under the circumstances, I’m not going to insist on collecting.”

Steve swallowed. “Maybe I want you to.”

Steve really wants to actually get the dance he's been waiting for for seventy-three years, but he can't do it without Peggy.

Peggy’s eyebrows stayed up. She was quiet for a long few heartbeats, during which the song the band had been playing finished and there was a brief moment of silence before they started up again. Into it, she said finally, “Sometimes I wonder if any of this is real to you. If to you we’re all just – just playactors in some elaborate pantomime like those awful stage shows you used to put on, so you can say or do whatever you want because it doesn’t matter. Lie about her, wear that uniform, say that to me.”

Fun fact: in one of the versions of this scene I put the lyrics of the song the band is playing in, but they weren't as relevant in the angrier final version, rather than the bittersweet previous versions. It's "When the Lights Go On Again" by Vaughn Monroe, linked version is sung by Vera Lynn ("when the lights go on again all over the world / and the boys are home again all over the world / and rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above / a kiss won't mean 'goodbye' but 'hello to love').

“I know it’s real,” Steve said, swallowing again. The words hurt, but they were meant to; she knew him well enough for that. “That you’re real – you and Howard and Phillips and the Howlies –”

“Do you?” Peggy said. “Do you really? Because sometimes you don’t act like it.”

“This would be a hell of a lot easier if I thought it wasn’t real,” Steve told her. “A hell of a lot.”

Peggy doesn't know what to think about 2018 Steve -- and she doesn't really accept that he's 2018 Steve, instead of 1945 Steve that something completely bizarre happened to.

She shook her head. “I don’t understand you anymore, Steve,” she said. “I used to, or I thought I did, and now – it’s like one man went up in the Valkyrie and someone else came back. I want to understand and I can’t and you won’t let me.”

“Have you even tried?” Steve said softly. “Every time you’ve talked to me since I got here you’ve been trying to catch me out in one lie or another.”

In Peggy's defense Steve does keep lying, it's just not the thing that she thinks he's lying about that he's lying about.

“And you keep lying,” Peggy said. “It’s like you can’t help yourself. You wouldn’t have done that six weeks ago; it’s not who you are. Only now –”

Steve shut his eyes briefly, then opened them again, because if he was going to say this, then he had to look her in the eye when he did it. “Then maybe you never really knew me, Peggy, because I was always this guy. Maybe you only ever knew the guy you wanted me to be.”

“I don’t believe that,” Peggy said. “I won’t believe that.”

Steve swallowed hard. “Then maybe that’s the problem.”

I've put a lot of thought into both Peggy's relationship with Steve and Peggy's perceived relationship with Steve, and what it's like over the course of CATFA and afterwards, in Agent Carter. (Even though this story takes place prior to AC by more than a year, it's a good look at how Peggy's idea of Steve crystallized post-death.) I think Peggy does have a very idealized view of Steve, in the same way that Steve has a very idealized view of Peggy, and in Peggy's case that's very heavily affected by the fact that Steve (apparently) died tragically a month earlier -- well, six weeks earlier by this point in the story. Steve died and everyone treated Peggy like a widow (even though they hadn't really been anything but a 'maybe' and that was on Peggy, not Steve), and she was able to build up an ideal of Steve. I think Steve says elsewhere in this story that Peggy never looked twice at him (as a potential romantic partner) pre-serum and I do think that's true. But I think post-death PEGGY doesn't think that's true, so she has this very idealized view of pre-serum Steve as being "real" Steve -- it's why she keeps the pre-serum photo of him from the end of CATFA in AC and later in Endgame. Distance and not having the actual person there lets her believe that she always felt that way about him and even that post-serum Steve was less "real," especially since post-serum Steve was ~America's golden boy and that woman does not like sharing. And this is the scene where Steve realizes that maybe Peggy really doesn't know him as well as he thinks she does.

A muscle in her jaw worked. She looked like she was on the verge of tears – Steve felt like he was on the verge of tears, though he didn’t know how much of that showed on his face. He wanted to reach for her, to do something to take even a little of that uncomprehending misery away from her, but he had just forfeited any right he had to comfort her. He started to open his mouth, to apologize, maybe, but he couldn’t do that either. She wouldn’t believe him and it would just be empty words, meaningless except as an attempt to absolve himself.

There was something horribly final about it, as if Steve had finally severed some last remaining tie to the life he should have had, to the man he should have been – his own choice this time, and not the one that fate or God or Abraham Erskine had made for him. For a wild moment, all he wanted to do was take it back, to shout that it was a mistake and that he still wanted this, this life, this woman, this person that no one had ever really laid to rest six years or six weeks or seventy-three years ago, the man that maybe he could have been. He wanted his life back, the same way he had wanted it every day for six years.

But it wasn’t his life anymore. It hadn’t been for a long time.

Steve's known it for a while but he's admitting it now.

First version of the scene:

He turned before Peggy could speak.

“I –” Steve hesitated. “I owe you a dance.”

“I think your – wife – might protest.”

He winced at the slight but deliberate pauses she had put around the word wife. Natasha had told him about the conversation she had had with Peggy the previous day; Peggy had been avoiding him ever since Howard’s arrival, and now he knew why.

“No,” Steve said. “She knows –” He didn’t know how to end that. What this means to me would probably just make Peggy laugh in his face. He just said again, “She knows.”

Peggy looked at him for a long moment, her expression unreadable, and then she said simply, “I don’t.”

Steve shut his eyes, heavy with grief. He could have explained, maybe, or at least tried to, but he knew without even saying a word that it didn’t really matter. He could say anything he liked, but it would just be words now; the chance for anything else had already passed. He had to try anyway. “I’m sorry.”

“I am too,” Peggy said. “Sorry.” She took a deep breath, as if bracing herself, and said, “It was never going to be me, was it?”

I've put in and cut out the "it was never going to be me, was it?" line through SEVERAL different scenes now; it also appeared in a previous version of Chapter 7, when Peggy confronts Steve after she finds out from Natasha that they started sleeping together in 1945.

Steve swallowed hard. “It could have been,” he said. “I wanted it to be. For a really – for a really long time.”

“When did you stop?”

It took everything Steve had not to look away, to keep his gaze fixed on hers, because if nothing else he owed her that. He still hesitated before he admitted, “When we got here.”

This version of the scene was written before the Peggy and Natasha conversation in Chapter 7, so it had to be changed.

Peggy made a sound like she had been struck, a little hitching gasp that tore at Steve’s heart. He started to reach for her and then stopped, knowing that the only right he had to comfort her was that of a friend, and he had never been entirely certain they were even that. For an instant her gaze met his again, then she took a step backwards, out of his reach.

“It’s not because of her, is it?” she said, her voice hoarse from suppressed tears. “It’s not even because of me. You’re – you’re really not him, are you? No more than I’m the woman I was in 1939.”

I honestly don't think Peggy has the level of self-awareness to have this realization here.

Steve shook his head, a brief, compressed gesture. “No,” he said. “I’m not. I – I wish I still was. But I’m not. I’m sorry.”

Peggy’s nod was just as compressed, barely more than her chin lifting for an instant. “I’m sorry too.”

There was something horribly final about it, as if Steve had finally severed some last remaining tie to the life he should have had, to the man he should have been – his own choice this time, and not one that fate or God or Abraham Erskine had made for him. For a wild moment all he wanted to do was take it back, to shout that he had been mistaken and that he still wanted this, this life, this woman, this person that she and Howard and the Commandos had all buried six years or six weeks or seventy-three years ago. He wanted his life back, the same way he had wanted it every day for the last six years.

This paragraph remained the same in all the versions.

You could want anything. Being able to have it was something else entirely.

Second version of this scene (the songfic version).

He turned before Peggy could speak.

“I –” Steve hesitated. “I owe you a dance.”

Her eyebrows went up slightly, then her expression softened a little. “Don’t worry,” she said. “Under the circumstances, I’m not going to insist on collecting.”

Steve felt a muscle in his jaw work. “Peggy –” he said, but he didn’t know what came after that. He just let her name hang there between them until he finally added, “I’m sorry.”

She didn’t answer at first and the silence stretched out between them as the band finished its current set. There was a little shuffling as a singer came onto the stage.

“I am too,” Peggy said. “Sorry.”

For a long moment they just stared at each other. The singer began to croon “When the Lights Go On Again” and Steve shut his eyes briefly.

When the lights go on again all over the world And the boys are home again all over the world –

“I still owe you a dance,” he said.

Peggy looked like she was going to cry. “Steve, you’re married,” she said simply. “Or close enough to make no difference.”

Again, I don't think Peggy has this level of self-awareness. It also meant the next scene didn't really work, because it completely stopped the flow of action in the chapter, and this has to be a THINGS ARE HAPPENING! chapter. (The next scene was also cut.)

It was the first time that she had actually admitted it, instead of arguing it with him or using it like a challenge.

“Yeah,” Steve said. “I am.”

And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above A kiss won’t mean goodbye but hello to love.

Peggy turned her head slightly towards the stage, her mouth crooking upwards for an instant at the irony of the lyrics. Then she looked back at him and said, her voice trembling a little, “It was never going to be me, was it?”

“It could have been,” Steve said, swallowing hard. “I wanted it to be. For a long time – for a really long time.”

“When did you stop?”

It took everything Steve had not to look away from her, to keep his gaze fixed on hers. He still hesitated before he admitted, “When we got here.”

Again, written before the revised scene in 7.

Peggy made a sound like she had been struck. Steve started to reach for her and then stopped, his hand still outstretched, knowing that the only right he had to comfort her was that of a friend, and he had never been entirely certain that they were even that. She took a step back, out of his reach.

Genuinely, I'm not sure that canon Steve and Peggy were actually friends, they had too much other stuff going on with the both of them.

“It’s not because of her, is it?” she said hoarsely. “It’s not even because of me. You’re – you’re really not him, are you? No more than I’m the woman I was in 1939.”

I have some very firm ideas about what Peggy was up to before the war and in the early days of the war, pre-SSR.

Steve shook his head, a brief, compressed gesture. “I’m not him,” he said. “I’m sorry.”

Peggy’s nod was just as compressed, barely more than her chin lifting for an instant. “I’m sorry too.”

There was something horribly final about it, as if Steve had finally severed some last remaining tie to the life he should have had, to the man he should have been – his own choice this time, and not one that fate or God or Abraham Erskine had made for him. For a wild moment all he wanted to do was take it back, to shout that he had been mistaken and that he still wanted this, this life, this woman, this person that she and Howard and the Commandos had all buried six years or six weeks or seventy-three years ago. He wanted his life back, the same way he had wanted it every day for the last six years.

You could want anything. Being able to have it was something else entirely.

There was a Peggy POV scene that followed this one that was cut from the final version of the chapter, of Peggy crying in the ladies room and then talking with Rose. It's a scene that has a lot of stuff I really like in it -- particularly how much Peggy just Does Not Get why Steve insisted on staying Captain America -- but it completely slowed the chapter to a crawl and it doesn't work with the angrier final version. One reason I've cut every scene that has bittersweet acceptance from Peggy (there are others!) is that they just don't work, and they don't really ring true. I also think the anger's more interesting -- I don't think any hardcore Peggy fans are actually reading this story, which is probably for the best, but going by AC I don't think Peggy would just accept it. And it adds interesting tension between Peggy and everyone else, even if it's exhausting for everyone involved, including me.

SGIFF: Singapore International Film Festival 🇸🇬

Around the World in 14 Films, Berlin 🇩🇪

🎟️Tickets available Nov 14

The Berlin premiere of “All of Us Strangers” by British director Andrew Haigh (“45 Years”) marks the celebratory conclusion of the 18th edition of AROUND THE WORLD IN 14 FILMS on Saturday, December 9th, 2023. Only at the end of August 2023 Andrew Haigh's “All of Us Strangers” celebrated its world premiere at the American Telluride Film Festival. The 18th World Cinema Festival presents the “surreal romance” (Vogue) in its “Closing Night”. The on-screen appearances of Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal, two of Ireland's hottest actors, are likely to provide star power. Lead actor Andrew Scott shone in his role as Moriarty in the BBC cult series “Sherlock” and other appearances in “James Bond 007: Specter” and “Fleabag”. Paul Mescal, star of the British series "Normal People", attracted worldwide attention with his moving performance in the independent hit "Aftersun". Director Andrew Haigh will also have fond memories for Berliners: his masterpiece “45 Years” won the Silver Bear at the Berlinale in 2015, which the leading actors Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay received.

🎟️Tickets

Save HIFF Love & Anarchy 🇫🇮

The future of HIFF – Love & Anarchy, one of Finland’s most significant film festivals, is under threat. HIFF is now calling on its audience to help. There are three types of tickets available for the support screenings, and you can support with either 25 €, 40 € or 100 €. The tickets will go on sale on 29.11.2023 at 11.00.

One of the most popular guests in the history of HIFF has been the Irish actor Andrew Scott, who visited Helsinki in 2014. It is only appropriate that we are the first in Finland to screen a film that will be one of the highlights of his career.

All of Us Strangers, directed and written by Andrew Haigh, is one of the highlights of the autumn. The film, which received top reviews at Telluride and the New York Film Festival, is a drama about loneliness, grief and a longing for love that gets under your skin.

Ramzi Mallat in conversation with Najlaa El-Ageli and Yahya Zaloom

Artist Ramzi Mallat will be in conversation with Yahya Zaloom, director of P21 Gallery and independent curator Najlaa El-Ageli. The talk will provide insight into the artist's practice and cover themes regarding Fault Lines, his solo exhibition on show at the gallery.

Artist: Ramzi Mallat is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the socio-political impact of globalisation on notions of identity and self. Mallat draws on a rich tapestry of theological and folkloric history of the Levant region, his work challenging the conventional notion of tradition as a civilisational legacy by revealing a narrative based on a society’s cultural vanguard in the course of a struggle. The artist has been appointed a Trustee for the IMOS Foundation in the United Kingdom and was selected as one of Forbes Middle East’s 30 Under 30 Honorers in 2022. His most recent short documentary has been awarded the 'Official Selection' laurel by the Scarab Film Festival in Dubai, UAE, the Story International Student Film Festival in Cork, Ireland and the Lebanese Independent Film Festival

Panelist: Najlaa El-Ageli founded Noon Arts Projects in 2012 with a mission to bring the best of contemporary art from the MENA region, from both emerging and established artists, and expose it to the world stage. She was selected to be a member of the jury for ‘The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) 2016 and 2019, and sat as member of the board for The London Prints Studio from 2017 to 2020.

Moderator: Yahya Zaloom is Artistic Director of P21 Gallery, a London-based charitable trust promoting contemporary Arab art and culture, committed to creating visibility for Arab artists worldwide. Yahya holds a BA in Mixed Media Fine Arts (University of Westminster, London), an MA in Visual Culture (University of Westminster, London), and currently studying MA in Art Curation by practice (University of Teesside, Middlesbrough).

'All of Us Strangers Unexpected Twist Ending Explained

When Harry showed up, he wore the same pink sweatshirt and got right in Adam's face when he found him in his apartment. Adam's parents seemed to know they were already dead, but it took Harry a moment to figure it out. He confessed he felt really lonely the night they first met, and they hugged. Adam said sorry for not letting him in back then.

So, here's the deal: Harry's been a ghost all along, probably since the night Adam turned him away. Did Adam and Harry have ghostly romance? What happens when a ghost tries ketamine, Is Adam the kid from the Sixth Sense, all grown up? Well, those answers are a mystery, like whispers in the wind, leaving us to wonder about the strange things that happen between life and whatever comes next.

All of Us Strangers Cast

Andrew Scott - Adam

Carter John Grout - Young Adam

Paul Mescal - Harry

Jamie Bell - Adam's Father

Claire Foy - Adam's Mother

Ami Tredrea - Waitress

All of Us Strangers

"All of Us Strangers" is a romantic fantasy film from 2023. It was both written and directed by Andrew Haigh, based on the 1987 novel "Strangers" by Taichi Yamada. This movie stars Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell, and Claire Foy.

The film had its premiere at the 50th Telluride Film Festival on August 31, 2023. It was then released in the United States on December 22, 2023, and is set to be released in the United Kingdom on January 26, 2024, by Searchlight Pictures. "All of Us Strangers" received praise from critics and earned a spot among the top ten independent films of 2023, according to the National Board of Review.

All of Us Strangers Plot

In the story, a London writer named Adam is feeling lonely. One day, his neighbor Harry tries to flirt with him while he's drunk, but Adam turns him down. Adam then goes to his childhood home, which is empty, and there he encounters the ghosts of his parents who passed away in a car accident when he was twelve.

When Adam returns, he reciprocates Harry's romantic interest, and they become intimate. Adam later reveals to his mom that he is gay, and although she accepts him, she is worried. He has another romantic encounter with Harry, who confesses his own struggles with acceptance from his family.

During a visit with his father, Adam finds acceptance and reconciliation for the bullying he faced as a child. Adam and Harry go out to a club and use ketamine, causing Adam to imagine a future with Harry. He wakes up on Christmas in his parents' house, unable to sleep. In an attempt to find comfort, he joins his parents in bed and shares a personal story with his mother. However, the moment is interrupted when Harry appears in bed with them.

All of Us Strangers Unexpected Twist Release Date

The movie first showed at the 50th Telluride Film Festival on August 31, 2023, and then at the 2023 New York Film Festival on October 1, 2023. It was also part of the main competition at the 68th Valladolid International Film Festival.

Cork in Verse | Ana Spehar Interviews Catherine Ronan

Catherine Ronan is a member of multiple Poetry collectives and performs on open mic to international audiences. She has been published in anthologies, journals and magazines. She is a member of the DeBarra’s Spoken Word Team and a regular attendee at Ó Bhéal. In 2021 she won the Winter Solstice Poetry Competition, co-curated Bandon Poetry Town for Poetry Ireland and was a guest poet at the Winter Warmer Poetry Festival. She organises Poetry Cafés for Culture Night. Her poetry has been selected for the Poetry in the Park Project 2022 and 2023.

When did you start writing poetry?

I started writing poetry when I was 9 years of age. The very first poem that I wrote was:

My jeans are dirty

but I have no other

I'd wear some clean ones

if they were washed by my mother

Needless to say, my mother wasn't pleased and taught me how to use the washing machine after that! One of the best things for my writing was joining Millbrook Writers, a group that started in October 2018. That introduced discipline and we had to write on different themes every fortnight. I then did creative writing with Matthew Geden, followed by creative writing in UCC with Paul Casey. We are so lucky to have Ó Bhéal in Cork and DeBarras in Clonakilty as open mic platforms for emerging poets.

How do you manage to fit in writing with other demands on your time? Do you write very day?

I try to write every day - even if nothing good lands. I tend to write very late at night when the house is completely silent. I also carry paper and a pen everywhere with me because inspiration can come out of the blue, even when cleaning for example and I find if you don't write it down, it's gone! My poetry takes priority over housework and I have a sign hanging up that says ' a tidy house is the sign of a wasted life!'

Could you tell us more about your creative process?

During Covid, Cork County Arts and Library services appointed Matthew Geden as Writer in Residence. He in turn set up Poetry and Prose Collectives. I was lucky to have been awarded a place on the Poetry Collective and as a result a fine group of poets meets every two weeks on Zoom from all over Cork County. It is invaluable to have new poems workshopped. I also joined the Blue Mondays, another fantastic group who raised money for Simon with their Anthology. I was so proud to be part of that. My poem Clíodhna was chosen for the opening ceremony of Bandon as Poetry Town for Poetry Ireland and Winter Hope was the winner of the Winter Solstice Poetry Competition 2021. Research was very much involved in the creative process of these two poems. I am fascinated by myth and magic so in 2022 I did a course in UCC with Dr Jenny Butler. I was inspired by that course to write poems about Brigid - Pagan Goddess and Christian Saint. One of the Poems has been put to music by Mags Creedon O'Shea and has been chosen to be engraved on slate next to a Brigid Well in Bandon.

My first Poetry Film ' Policing Mary' was inspired by Mrs Doyle in Father Ted. Some poets think that you should only write about real experiences, but I am firmly in the camp of the imagination and believe that poets are free to write about any subject. I did a week long course with the poet Paul Muldoon in Bantry in 2022. His method of writing one line at a time and making each line like a one-lined poem has definitely had an influence on my creative process. Recently I tend to write much denser and longer poetry. Sometimes the creative process is a mystery and the writer is only a conduit. Some poems can be written in one sitting with very few alterations afterwards and yet others can take years to finish.

Currently I am doing a Poetry in Translation course with Cork City Libraries Writer in Residence, Keith Payne. That is having an influence on my work by training my ear to the musicality of poems in different languages and accordingly in the inherent sounds of my own work.

In your opinion what are the most important elements of a good poem?

A good poem in my opinion should not be easily accessible. Even where the simplest language is used, there should be multiple layers of meaning and it should be open to many interpretations. I tend to like poems that take love and loss as their theme as I think everybody has experienced both. I am not drawn to ranty political poetry but at the same time, a poet's job is to give voice to people who don't have a voice. I like emotive poems with lots of imagery. A good poem should be like a painting in many aspects.

What are you reading at the moment?

I am reading The Cloud Architect by Matthew Geden, rereading my UCC notes and enjoying the novel Perfume written by Patrick Suskind.

Winter Hope

I knew you would come

Invincible sun

Rebirth from darkness

Clocks burn and turn

Stone singing ancestors

Face the same sky

Mistletoe glows

Fiery ankles feast

On the darkest day

Jupiter and Saturn kiss

Fingers frosted blue

Trace ancient nights

You offer me the veiled

Chalice of begin

I crawl out of winter’s cave

Newborn in your sight

Squinting at your song

Written in the trees

I knew you would come

Invincible sun

Clíodhna

Now we are free to kiss

Ancient mouths in our time

Sweet apples from a golden tree

Wake alive healed

Trembling steel trays

Land of concrete promise

Underneath a calico blanket

Everything revealed

Three birds sing Blarney

We hear them in lusty stone

For all the world is red

In white matted hair

You rise from the waves

Kiss O’Sullivan cheeks

Wet feet in West Cork

Fairy of the hills

Never too weak to speak

We hear you on the tides

Whispering through the trees

Clíodhna – Queen of the Banshees
