Delighted to have been invited by Ciaran O´Rourke to write this essay for his excellent Ragpicker website. In it I look at writer´s block in these times of war and worse, find inspiration in a late aunt´s life and take a look at the existential danger AI holds for human langauge. A call to arms for writers, and poets in particular.
