Tonight at Gloucester Cathedral, I'm looking forward to reading some of Ivor Gurney's incredibly moving war poems + some new work of my own, noticing how contemporary war poems shift and echo work written more than a century ago, how alike we still are. gloucestercathedral.org.uk/whats-on/an-...

Aberystwyth Poetry Festival last weekend, a gem!

Excited for this new collaboration with Dialect Press - coming 2026 www.dialect.org.uk/blog/sean-bo...

It seems ridiculous that I got a mention on 6 Music tonight with my brilliant collaborator Mara Simpson, but here we go! Just when I was feeling like a total imposter ...

It felt like a very special thing to read tonight to the Sonic Woodland installation and from my new pamphlet FOREST in the walled garden at Museum in the Park. Deep listening and the power of embodied practice.

Of course our very own Emma Kernahan @crappyliving.bsky.social popped up throughout the weekend, hosting an interview with Nick Hayes and performing as part of the Lost Mythos Mythical Entities crew with poet JLM Morton and all round incredible musician, sound tech and singer Mara Simpson

‘ …how the ridges and hills and valleys that connected you become a new kind of vascular system that maps both the memory and presence of a body that has slipped from its human form and reassembled itself as field, stream, hare, copse.’ Beautiful writing from @jlmmorton.bsky.social 💚

Poets in their happy place 🍻 😆 joyous to read at Cheltenham Poetry Festival tonight w @annasaund.bsky.social & Michael Symmons Roberts

What are your favourite lyrical essays, ones that sit somewhere between prose poem, lyric, fragment? I am looking for recommendations ...
