I met a lot of Trumps in my industry, and I met a lot of people who called themselves “artists” then chose vanity over humanity because it bought them fame. We can live in a world without this manipulation, but we’ll have to choose to do so. Believe me, they don’t make it easy.

Got to see Louisa Hodgson's stunning 'The Collingwood Monument, Tynemouth, Trafalgar Night' at @LaingArtGallery for the first time in several years again today. The image featured on the cover of my first @DiodeBlue poetry collection and is even more impressive in person.

This is an outstanding book. Shereen's poems are wide awake, sensual, painful, courageous, strikingly contemporary - and important. Everybody should read them. @DiodeBlue

With a new collection in Scots, published by @DiodeBlue just out, here's @SamuelTongue reading & discussing his work. The 2nd poem, 'Everything' may even be considered as one of the landmark poems of our time. See what you think.

Good to meet poet A.B. Jackson at @IASSL_ScotLit in Nottingham and acquire this beauty: the collected Scots verse of the great Alexander Hutchison (1943-2015) published by the equally great Rob Mackenzie @DiodeBlue
Launch at @ByLeavesWeLive tomorrow. Wish I could go!
