A #lifttothesky for @danielghinds.bsky.social Not only an erudite and thoughtful poet, Daniel is a great supporter of others in the #poetrycommunity And an overdue exhortation to everyone to buy his book, New Famous Phrases, published by @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social Details in the thread below 👇

Thanks very much to Confluence Magazine for this lovely review of my debut @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social poetry collection New Famous Phrases. Link to the full review below.

Pleased to see my debut @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social poetry collection New Famous Phrases receive an Honourable Mention in the Big Other Readers' Choice Award! Congratulations to everyone else on the list, and thanks very much to @bigothermag.bsky.social & all the readers.

I read Ted Hughes's Meet My Folks for the first time in April. Interesting to see how early he established himself as a children's author. I particularly enjoyed the last poem 'My Own True Family' which, like much of his work, has a characteristically strong ecological theme.

Delighted to have my poem Acedia published in this magazine. Love the cute sloth illustration too!

I attended Max Porter's @englishpen.bsky.social lecture this week. Given the experimental forms of his books it was no surprise it was delivered in poetic style with musical accompaniment! @newwritingnorth.bsky.social @nclanews.bsky.social @pretitaneja.bsky.social @dnlgorman.bsky.social

I've been reading/rereading Max Porter's books in preparation for attending his upcoming PEN lecture at Newcastle University. Really looking forward to the event! @newcastleuni.bsky.social @englishpen.bsky.social @newwritingnorth.bsky.social @nclanews.bsky.social

I've been adding to my Ted Hughes collection recently, as I'm in the midst of a full Hughes re-read. There are a lot of Hughes inspired poems in my debut poetry collection New Famous Phrases, and I enjoyed having an interview this weekend with @tedhughessociety.bsky.social about his influence on me.

'a poet of scale, imagination and verve' Thanks very much to The High Window and Rona Fitzgerald for this wonderful review of my debut @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social poetry collection New Famous Phrases. thehighwindowpress.com/2025/06/23/t...

By taking a step back from everyday experience and viewing it anew via an esoteric literary filter so as to understand it better, Hinds is reminding us that other poetries are still possible in the contemporary landscape...

I have two poems anthologised in this publication, 'Aneirin' & 'Dear Sydney Graham'. Looking forward to reading the full anthology. Many congratulations to @acidbathpublishing.bsky.social for their 5 year anniversary too!
