Looking forward to writing 'Poetry on Demand' for the good people of Whitchuch tomorrow (Saturday 6th October) with @BigStevePoet my fellow @pandemonialists . If you're at Blackberry Fare then come and find us.

It seems fitting that, in this, the 70th anniversary year of the publication of #LucyMBoston's 'The Children of #GreenKnowe,' the garden should be flooded. Photographs by Kate Boston.
Ohhhhhh @KatieAiles !!! I never hear anyone mention @darsnowdenw
Wheeeeeeeeeee!!
(February, The House that Pain Built, but most of it honestly.)
Also just loved listening to you on @Process_Pro Podcast today. Thanks for keeping me company. #PoetryCommunity
Every time I need a pick me up @timfitzhigham is on @TheMoth and I cry with laughter (and incredulity, frankly!)
Thank you. Just, thank you ❤️ 🤣

Unpopular opinion: people taking full sized bikes on trains should not board first- blocking the through ways for other passengers.
Absolutely beautiful reading from Ian Clarke at last night’s @FenSpeak - bringing the fen to us in delicious phrase and really evocative imagery.
Thanks Ian for swapping with me.

You feel far away
and I try
not to hold too tight
in case
you have actually
left.
I have finally ventured into writing about something I never thought I would find words to do.
It’s very personal to me.
And quite alarming to find myself doing. Because as much as I needed to do it for myself, I don’t know what others will think of it.

The wonder of the internet is that you can research *anything*. Which means that if you're popping on Twitter to misgender Imane Khelif, when five minutes research would educate you, it's because you WANT to. In which case, stop drinking the Kool Aid and give your head a wobble.
Ohhhhhh @JasmineGardosi is taking off my head today!! Walking home from work almost twirling. Lush!!
Excellent stuff from @MarkGristPoet @LeanneModenPoet, Charley and lovely Chris @BacklandStudios
Presales for my new book are now open!!
You can find that and details about how you can win a book bundle including a copy of A Holding all in my linktree.

Desperate plea:
IF YOU NEED YOUR WIPERS ON - YOU NEED YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON!!!
Travelling in the M6/M42/M5 region today in terrible rain and a LOT of people do not have them on. It’s really scary.

So @TheGreenParty now have 4 seats - as many as the revolting Reform party are forecast to get. So why in god’s name is @BBCNews rabbiting on about Reform still and not talking about extraordinary Green performance??
