Fellowship opportunity here at Edinburgh for unaffiliated ECRs in C19 studies. Very happy to chat to anyone who’s interested in applying.

The Guardian has published an obituary of my dear friend Brian, written by his wife Maxine. I love the photo she chose for it. www.theguardian.com/education/20... #C19

Visiting Fellowships call for University of East Anglia’s archive of contemporary writing: poetry, fiction, nature writing, scriptwriting children’s literature and more. Deadline: end of March. Please share! And if you’re interested in applying, let me know. www.uea.ac.uk/research/res...

I've extended the deadline & adjusted the wording on this scholarship after queries from prospective students. Please encourage students interested in a funded PhD on poetry in either 18c/Romantic and/or settler colonialism & Indigenous sovereignty to get in touch! www.wgtn.ac.nz/scholarships...

Really excited to be talking with @danielwilson.bsky.social and @fedenanni.bsky.social about collaboration at this event!

I replaced my teenage Leaves of Grass, which had its pages falling out, last week. This new one, that Peter Riley has with OWC, already looks well used. I can't go anywhere without it. 'WORD over all, beautiful as the sky!'
