Love these coincidences. Driving near Lyon and listening to this episode of Kickass Women about a Lyon-born woman who became an art spy 🇫🇷❤️

Always worth watching, Burn Gorman. And he does seem to love playing up the dark underbelly of a role. But my favourite role of his was in "Turn", which was a fantastic and unexpected change of pace.

We'll be launching our first pamphlet and collection competition this autumn in memory of the late great John Foggin, who won a few similar competitions himself. Watch out for further details in the next few weeks.

It is a joy today to #LiftToTheSky a woman whose poetry never fails to move me and whose generous spirit never fails to leave me in awe @missyerem.bsky.social

'How to Make a Paper Grenade' began as a series of acts of resistance, and the poetry pamphlet will be published by @vervepoetrypress.bsky.social in Sep.

The latest delightful episode of The Poetry Place on West Wilts Radio features @juliawebb.bsky.social and me, alongside fabulous open mic poets. As our host @dawnpoet.bsky.social says, it's lovely when an informal theme emerges! Why not have a listen:

This wouldn't happen to a bigger author... (publishing envy is real)

A GREAT post by @abielongstaff.bsky.social. Something every writer should read (and perhaps print out to re read later when you're having a wobble). About how success never feels enough: "You’ll win the Carnegie then say ‘why haven’t I won it TWICE?’" abielongstaff.substack.com/p/this-would...

All the best to you Alina from one who has been there. To your excellent reminder about mammos and MRI, I would add: know what's normal for your breasts and check them regularly. 💕💜💖

Oooh Mari this looks amazing! Congratulations x

There's an experimental Hildegard concert as part of the annual Beethoven Festival here in Bonn in a few weeks - I'm intrigued.

A copy of Alison Brackenbury's selected poems, "Gallop", with a big cup of coffee and a pair of glasses on a garden table.

How's your Saturday going? I've brought my copy of Gallop, @abrackenbury.bsky.social's selected poems from @carcanet.bsky.social, out to the garden. Many of these poems feel like they should be read and enjoyed in a green space. History and horses, two of my favourite poetry themes.

Number 5, since the book in the top spot is that well-known poetry anthology Middlemarch (ed. C.Dickens) 😆

What was really fabulous: The seamless way @alanparrywriter.co.uk & I worked together. Co-editors, from start to finish, on the same page abt concept, poem selections, & basic anthology composition. I'd work w/him again in a heartbeat! ♥️ @thebrokenspine.co.uk bit.ly/406EIWm amzn.eu/d/abNnC5i
