@elizabethlovatt.bsky.social I’m ❤️ing your Lesbian Line book! Got about 80 pages left & am a bit narked that I have to go to work tomorrow instead of finishing it.

I read Galatea by @madelinemiller.bsky.social yesterday and then watched Mannequin again.

I read #NinaSimone ‘s Gum by @warrenellis.bsky.social today. Fabulous book i have meant to read for ages. Just gone for a run listening to her Philips recordings and heard Pirate Jenny in a whole new light. Wondering if the recording of the Meltdown concert has appeared yet.

please join us tonight to celebrate our competition winners! details in the link! mailchi.mp/d6293af64caa...

One of the best sounds in the world is that of books dropping from a letterbox! Have just received these from @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social ! Read poetry! Support small presses! Literacy is power! @rushikawick.bsky.social @arainbowpoet.bsky.social #HelenTaithCurtis

My mum died of alzheimer’s early Tuesday. My head is a mess. I wrote this poem after visiting the @foundlingmuseum.bsky.social @poetrywales.bsky.social published it. It’s weird to be posting this. I am reading Joyce’s Dubliners at the moment, in a roundabout way it has prompted me to do so.

Interesting conversations in our house when Ricken from Severence gets confused with Dicken from The Secret Garden

Tomorrow night we have @pascalepetit.bsky.social and @simonmaddrell.bsky.social with us! How cool is that?! Details in the link: mailchi.mp/e0187a65a6b8...

Some pics from @listencambridge.bsky.social last night. Elliot Galvin, Ruth Goller, Sebastian Roachford & Mandhira De Saram made some incredible sonic art! The original congregation of the beautiful Unitarian Church would be amazed to hear such sounds from instruments they recognise.

We're not in Narnia anymore. #CSLewis's 'modern fairy tale for grown-ups' warns of a world where technocrats are kings. That Hideous Strength, dramatised by Melissa Murray, with a great cast led by Anneika Rose & Joel MacCormack 3pm Sun 9 Feb @BBCRadio4 #audiodrama www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Hmm, should give Porco Rosso a watch again soon #Ghibli

I saw Joan of Arc’s signature and the surviving MS of Julian of Norwich’s first MS yesterday, and i went to the Moomin shop so that was a good day! Thank you @britishlibrary.bsky.social thank you #MoominShop

🎵 Danger is great joy. Dark is bright as fire.

This company are working to reduce stigma & raise the visibility of adult survivors of CSA. They’re encouraging survivors & allies to wear Zebra print on Friday. If the usual silence on this subject is questionable to you, please take a look. www.vivgordoncompany.co.uk/blog/zebra-d...

Expect more from us in here in the next few weeks, like the results of our poetry competition & details of our events!

One of my recent poems on class and queerness - love performing this.

We have lots of cookbooks in the house. These are two of the best

Got this print of ‘Girl In the Woods’ by Su Blackwell, happily commemorating that time I was in Poetry Review

The #TSEliotPrize readings are now up (shall link in due course), but you can watch my short reading at the Royal Festival Hall via the link. Good lord, I am a bit theatrical … and the poem dedicated to terrified trans siblings … oh my … #poetry #trans youtu.be/FdQCm4SAU-M?...

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery

This will clearly be an excellent course & a fantastic treat for those who get on it!

Tomorrow I will start one of these: which should it be?

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.

“Hope is the thing with feathers” Whether you’re a big fan or you’ve never heard her poetry before, Emily Dickinson is what you need. Check out our Emily playlist here: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Does anyone else get disproportionately annoyed when MS Word tries to correct your grammar?

Have just read 2 brilliant poems in @propelmagazine.bsky.social issue 12: www.propelmagazine.co.uk/twelve

It took me a scarily long time to realise there are no ads on here!!!

Propel is def one of the most interesting uk poetry magazines at the moment!

Cat Woodwood is ace, so go to this I say!

I walked past 2 school kids this morning, one was teaching the other the lyrics to Baggy Trousers. It was exactly the right boost of hope needed for a January morning.

I will almost certainly post more than once on here in 2025
