My creative highlight for August was facilitating a Poetry and Hope workshop @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social for 79 people (!) and selling all my books. I'd love to hear your highlight... 🦋

I woke up to an acceptance of 2 poems! It's given me a spur to write even more! Wishing everyone a creative weekend. 🌿

Hi Jo, many thanks for your kind message. I'm so glad you enjoyed the workshop. I loved spending time with all of you and was dazzled by the work people produced. Really hope I can do more work with @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social in the future! 🌿

I went to @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social yesterday to facilitate a workshop on Poetry and Hope, expecting 6 people to turn up. In the end, 76 wonderful poets came to share their skill. I loved every minute & hope they did too! Many thanks to the wonderful organisers and volunteers.🌿

@martinwroe.bsky.social Delighted to say I'll be attending your Poetry workshop at St Katharine's in October as part of an 'informal training' day. It's been given to me as part of my residency with Cork City Libraries. I call it jam. 😍

I'm not sure if you want to commission me to write a poem called 'She Dances Free'? Any clarification would be appreciated. Many thanks

What difference would it make if we all stopped writing poetry?

My latest poem s for anyone who's had toup sticks and move to a new place. Hope you get something from it. @adriancoyle.bsky.social @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social @indigodreamspub.bsky.social

@tweettoowoo.bsky.social Hi Kate, it would be good to continue our conversation following my performance at Greenbelt last year.

Honoured to share my poem 'Black Men Should Wear Colour' performed at the outstanding @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social last year. 🌿

We’ve asked some of our VFPs (Very Favourite People) to respond to this year’s theme, Hope in the Making. @jennymitchellgo.bsky.social offered us her gorgeous poem: ‘it uses colour to talk about the possibility that the world can become a safer place.’ Here she is reading it ❤️. #GB25

Poets, what's the best/most unexpected place your poetry has taken you? For me, it's the Houses of Parliament (name drop) and Rome, wonderful Rome! #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

This great competition from the wonderful @massolit.bsky.social might be of interest to students/teachers you know...? @englishassociation.bsky.social

Thanks so much, Peter!

Delighted to have been invited to a symposium @exeter.ac.uk to share a paper about my poetry. Wish me luck as I code switch between poetry and prose. 🌿

Thank you, Peter - much appreciated. 🐦

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my poem and for your great feedback, Victoria - really appreciated. Hope you have a lovely day. 🐦

Are poems pretty words or crucial messages? #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

Here's my poem 'Emancipating Ancestors' on the @Culturesmatter website. The editor calls it a 'manifesto' for my work and I can't disagree. Any comments welcome. 🦋 #poetrycommunity #WritingCommunity www.culturematters.org.uk/emancipating...

So sorry you weren't able to come, Eithne! Hope you can make the 19th Feb? If so, don't bother to sign up. You know people in important places and I'm sure they'll let you in no matter what! x

I'm on the wait list @jennymitchellgo.bsky.social hope a place comes up!

Sonnets stump me so if you can top 'Family' by Marilyn Newson please share - I need to be inspired. 🌿 www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/57033/...

Thanks for posting my interview at the Bronte Parsonage, Rhona. Glad to say it's one of their most-listened to podcasts on Instagram & a learning resource @manmetucu.bsky.social. Great to talk about new ways of reading 'Jane Eyre', and also to share a poem inspired by Charlotte Bronte's ring. 🌿

This is a super interview with @jennymitchellgo.bsky.social 🔥 podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/b...

How kind! That's made my morning, Aidan! @arvonfoundation.bsky.social
