New Annamakherrig Arrivals



Each day brings new artists to our ever-changing community.

Lluis Farre from Barcelona arrived today. He is an artist, writer, and illustrator of children's books. We've already discovered many similarites between Barcelona and Atlanta, as he joined the after dinner walking group this evening. Rachel, a poet from Dublin, informed us that there is a "fairy fort" nearby--and tomorrow evening she'll be taking us on a tour of it. Also, Michael Houlihan, a composer from Dublin, has just joined our merry troupe.

Today, I had some time for writing and reading, as well as enjoying the continuing grand weather. I'm also preparing for my conversation with Seamus Heaney, now scheduled for Saturday morning.

Other new arrivals include the artichokes blossoming in the vegetable garden.
