The message below matters more to me than anything I've ever posted. No puppies or uplifting message, but what if it happened at Buckingham Palace? Dare I ask people to retweet/amplify? @DoctorChrisVT @LayalLiverpool @jhalakprize @theAliceRoberts
A conference organiser @KingsCollegeLon insisted on knowing what country I was from. Another implied someone like me would not understand an academic conference. I find this worrying & would like to talk to someone in the Classics department. Many thanks.

Thankyou @JennyMitchellGo for opportunity to read. Moved by your new book, Resurrection of a Black Man, it's an incredible piece of work and fabulous to hear you read from it.

Phenomenal #poetry from @keithjlondon and @rmcfarlane63 set the room ablaze with the power of words to touch the heart. I was honoured to share a platform with them both. Many thanks also to Laura Salisbury of the @WhatIsWaiting project.

Mark Rylance asks 'If, in modern day England, an institution like Eton deems drama important enough to have 2 theatres, why are we allowing the government to cut arts education from the life of the rest of our young people?' This question is one that should be urgently addressed

I've never been prouder to be Bristol City Poet & to offer a poem to my adopted city than I am today. This piece is called Hollow and I hope you like it. I've captioned it and everything! Rust in shame, Eddie.

It’s that time again. A mumpsimus (16th century) is someone who refuses to budge/insists that they are right, despite clear evidence that they are wrong. Plural: mumpsimuses.

Any health worker poets out there? Please get in touch for more details if you would like to contribute to a ‘lockdown anthology’. Art work considered too. I am aiming for this to be an important record of what is happening. Please RT to spread the word.
