"The President responds to the British High Commissioner" – a poem philvernon.net/2026/05/30/t...

This Thursday at The Queens Arms in Cowden Pound in Kent - chill out to poetry in this heat.

Now the days are getting springier, this is just the book to have in hand on your walks.

This Thursday at The Queens Arms, Cowden Pound in Kent.

The force of nature that is @suzannafitzpatrick.bsky.social has done me an Utherworldly level of kindness here. I commend all her reviews in this series to you, and it’s a joy to sit among them, and to have been read so deeply and so well.

Looking forward to having the wonderful @oenonethomas.bsky.social read at the Queens Arms in Cowden Pound on Thursday.

#TheDeeperRead issue 6: "The family tartan", by fellow @poetryschool.bsky.social grad @revkevwrites.bsky.social: suzannafitzpatrick.substack.com/p/the-deeper.... Like tartan, this poem is expertly woven of different hues in its warp and weft, and also wove itself into my week as I considered it.

Fantastic night reading at @revkevwrites.bsky.social Open No-Mic at The Queen's Head in Cowden Pound. Wonderful crowd. And will you look at the trifle bowl of wine they provided! Thanks all x Copies of 'Crippled' available from www.redsquirrelpress.com/product-page... or DM me to buy a signed copy.

Poets return to Cowden Pound on Thursday.

Some thoughts on being Poet in Residence at a church in the City of London - www.kevin-scully.com/blog/snapsho...

Honoured to have been asked to make poetry themed intercessions at the Harvest Festival service of All Hallows by the Tower as the last part of my month-long time as Poet in Residence.

Join us in Kent this month for @tessafoley.bsky.social as Guest Reader at the Queens Arms.

This Thursday's highlight in Cowden Pound.

Delighted to see @leytonorientfc.bsky.social towel in Nigel Tufnel's Berwick upon Tweed cheese shop in the latest Spinal Tap film.

This Thursday. All welcome. Masterminded by @revkevwrites.bsky.social

The Poet in Residence at All Hallows by the Tower in London, will be writing Haiku on demand today. Drop in for 17 syllables written just for you.

I plan to be at All Hallows by The Tower on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. If you want a poetic visit/prompts, do contact me.

Will be there then too. But not every day!

There will be some...watch this space. And the occasional appearance on Saturday mornings on my way to Brisbane Road!

Happy to have be Poet in Residence at All Hallows by the Tower in London for the month of September.

In Cowden Pound, Kent this week.

This Thursday in Cowden Pound. Guest reader @matriches.bsky.social

In Cowden Pound this Thursday.

Someone recently observed that I had not blogged for a while. So I took it as a spur to action. www.kevin-scully.com/poetry/be-li... It's also a shout-out for books by Fran Lock, Camille Ralphs and Paul Scully (yes, a relation!)

If you happen to find yourself in or near Cowden Pound on 26th June at about 6ish, you could pop into the Queen's Arms Pub for some poetry. Bring a poem if you want to read one, bring cheese for your ears while I read mine if you want. Either way, it would be ace to see you there.

Thanks to @fr-sam-dennis.bsky.social and the people of St Luke's, Woodside for the opportunity to read my Stations of the Cross poems in an act of worship.

Thank you for reading and sharing today's poem - Sweetheart, You’re A Pirate Now by @suzannafitzpatrick.bsky.social

Help us bring Poetry to Schools! For teenagers, poetry can be a powerful space but many secondary school libraries have a limited selection of poetry. We donate poetry books to secondary schools & you can help us do this by donating here! fundrazr.com/22Wg69?ref=s... Please share this post!

I will be reading a work in progress - Stations of The Cross - at three churches in the lead up to Easter. kentandsussexpoetry.com/2025/04/01/k...

Looking forward to welcoming Laura Webb.

Super #poem this morning in @atriumpoetry.bsky.social #DAPrince

Thanks to @roguestrands.bsky.social for coming to Cowden Pound for a great night of poetry.

Tonight's the night...!

Poetry comes alive when it's shared. That's why I'm so excited by my upcoming events in the next few days in Faversham, Chichester and Cowden Pound, by letting my poems change in so many different ways as they cease to belong to me and find their readers...

We're thrilled with The Guardian's excellent review of FLOOD by @jessmookherjee.bsky.social - thank you @rebeccatamas.bsky.social To celebrate, type FREEUK to claim free UK post on this wonderful book: https://buff.ly/42rMwnr

Polish up your poems! Just one day left to enter our competition. Our judge, Kit Fan, is waiting to read them and we wish you the very best of luck!!

Sadly Susan Wicks will not be joining us. We look forward to welcoming her later in the year. But we still have the joys of Jemilea Wisdom-Baako.

It’s time to get yourself a Christmas #Poetry treat. There’s a special Christmas Anthology from Live Canon featuring so many amazing poets! It’s slim enough to send instead of a card and it’s much better. And I’m in there too with a new poem ‘Tradition’. 🎄🔔✨🍾 www.livecanon.co.uk/store/produc...

It’s only reasonable to get Christmas-appropriate-dressed-up for the Live Canon Christmas sparkly gig. So I did. You can get a copy of the Christmas🎄 anthology here www.livecanon.co.uk/store/produc... #poetry

If you are in Eastbourne tomorrow...

It's such a good collection. Good luck with the TSE.

Chuffed to be part of this venture with my poem 'Content Warning'. @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

Honoured to have two poems in @dragonflyflight.bsky.social 14, chosen by @philvernon.bsky.social as editor. flightofthedragonfly.com/kevin-scully/
