Congratulations @DorothyKoomson on receiving your second honorary doctorate of letters, this one from @uniofbrighton.
She’s not only a brilliant writer, she’s also Britain’s biggest-selling Black female author of adult fiction and a huge inspiration and advocate to other writers particularly for marginalised communities.

Calling memoir and personal essay readers: Do you know of a personal essay I can read online that writes from the perspective of misremembering, or where the fallibility of memory is a subject in itself? Thanks in advance. #memoir #writingcommunity

Thank you @kimmoorepoet for this delightful essay on Carol Ann Duffy & exquisite celebration of learning to love life through poetry
Duffy once said:
“A poem can say in so few words something so precious and startling that it almost enters us.”'
