It's Valentines Day soon. Here's a beautiful little book Julie Johnstone of Essence Press made - - from my version of a #Sappho fragment "Sweet apple".

I've been reading a stimulating near-manifesto, "Rules for Poetry" by H. Josephone Giles. It's a bit sweary but we're grownups here, right, and I find so much I either agree with, or didn't know I agreed with until I saw it written. Sign-up not necessary. hjosephinegiles.substack.com/p/rules-for-...

I don't have a pic of my performances at the CCA but this one captures my sense of sorrow that it has folded. I feel Glasgow has been so neglected for decades and this is another major blow. My first public appearance was there in 1987, giving a Mayfest poetry reading before I even had a publisher.

Today is first day of term for my ten-session Poetry School workshop - I like the mix of veterans who've been with the group for some time and the new poets who stretch and surprise us. Quite often, though we can't know beforehand, the poems we look at overlap, a mini anthology emerges for the day.

Hello, my first post! I'm the writer Richard Price, with poetry collections which include Lucky Day and Late Gifts, and the novella The Island, which will be reissued this year in April. I'm also writing a memoir of the British Library where I worked as a curator of contemporary British books.
