My book about Dartington Hall and practical idealism between the wars comes out today. I only wish it were cheaper! – but I hope some can read it through libraries and institutional access. bit.ly/3MFJBN5

Perché un'altra guerra?
Se anche voi ve lo chiedete, fatevi ispirare dagli utopisti che in varie parti del mondo voltarono le spalle a #militarismo #violenza e #capitalismo

Last chance saloon! There are fewer than 50 copies left of my beloved book, The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift: Intellectual Barbarians. It’s been through three print runs and these are the very last ones. Available direct from the publisher’s bookshop: donlonbooks.com/products/the…

A privilege this morning to talk on the refugees of Dartington Hall at the @iofestival symposium 'Creative Sanctuary' and also to hear @Anna_Neima's fascinating opening talk on Dartington as a 'Practical Utopia'

Edward Hopper started drawing at age 5. His paint box was labelled “Would-be Artist”. At age 9 he made this sketch on the back of his school report card. For the rest of his life, he would retain his fascination with solitary contemplation and the sea

My copy of @idler has arrived with the first of my Dartington Trust residency poems ✨ inspired by my time there, its radical history, Dorothy Elmhirst, & Anna Neima’s book ‘Practical Utopia.’ Thanks to Idler editor @poetclare for giving it a home 🌳🌿❄️

So often History writing continues to be about powerful, wealthy, influential people. The lives that most interest me are the millions whose voices were barely heard even in their own time. I attend closely to eight of them in #Lifescapes, just out now: amazon.co.uk/Lifescapes-Expe…
