25 time machines into moments in England's past... I'm so excited to share the cover for A HISTORY OF ENGLAND IN 25 POEMS (and thanks to Waterstones for doing the cover reveal on their channels this morning). I hope you love it as much as I do!

Thanks @carcanet.bsky.social – delighted about this and very grateful to the Anglo-Hellenic league, @jhcreerw.bsky.social @sofkazinovieff.bsky.social & the judges of the #Runciman Award.

Congratulations to @sashadugdale.bsky.social for winning the Anglo-Hellenic League #RuncimanAward2025 with her astonishingly wonderful poetry collection “The Strongbox” (#Carcanet). A great choice by @sofkazinovieff.bsky.social and all the judges.

Wonderful that Prof. Kevin #Featherstone, formerly head of the very influential @ho-centre.bsky.social and now Chair of the Anglo-Hellenic League, has been awarded an OBE in the King’s Birthday Honours for services to “academia and UK/Greece relations”. Warm congratulations to Kevin. Άξιος, άξιος.
