After the hardware shops I'm at Museum der Dinge/Museum of Things. Enjoyed the way they classify. Very taken with the Remembering and Stimulating shelves and the excellent kitsch trio: jingoistic, devotional, topical

Yes. I have come far to regain the vibe...

My great pleasure visiting towns and cities: hardware shops. Not just because they're living museums of use, but bc they're like embassies of past ways of living, defiantly hanging on. Berlin has several superb examples.

So glad you like it thank you! I like to think we don't need to be Belgian to get it but it helps with base note!

RIP Tony Harrison

The latest issue of the Journal of Literary and Intermedial Crossings finds me both frank and reflective. With thanks for Michael Rosenfeld for the interview and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel for my time as writer in residence. Dank u wel, het was een genoegen.

Great to be back at Pordenonelegge to read from my new book Italian translation. Blood Feather became Linea Fissa, Landline. With thanks to Interno Poesia Giorgia Sensi and Filippo Morre

This is a wonderful read thank you!

When the dynamite sapped them,
a ripple climbed their flanks: their mouths
were trying to say something difficult

Happy to be in this fantastic book from @c20society.bsky.social with my elegy for the cooling towers of Didcot. If we know how to look, these structures and their places are full of meaning and stories.

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Miner miracle In paintings such as The Communist, a Political Meeting, the Welsh painter Evan Walters captured the hopes and fears of working-class communities, writes Patrick McGuinness

Glad to be in this month's Apollo, writing about Evan Walters's The Communist (c.1932): colour, ideas, Wales. Also mentioned: chapels, gospels and preachers (including the Manic Street variety), & being sceptical of rhetoric, like the little chap at the front.
