I’m the guest on Demystifying Poetry, ep. 6, Prof Tara Stubb’s podcast ☺️. Can recommend all the episodes!
The 6th & final (sob) ep of 'Demystifying Poetry' is out. I talk to poetry educator & anthologist Liz Ison about reading poetry in care homes & pubs, Keats, & (T) Swift. If you've enjoyed the series I'd be grateful for a review as I'd love to record more! open.spotify.com/episode/7tl…

Episode 4 of 'Demystifying Poetry' is out. I talk to the wonderful poet Jacqueline Saphra about forms, a poet's 'home form', and poetry as activism. Listeners can help us solve the mystery of who sent Jacqueline's '100 Lockdown Sonnets' to my home... open.spotify.com/episode/40U…

Reading Dickens aloud as a new year resolution! Yes!
The problem with making a new year resolution public is that you have to stick with it. 🤪

Soane’s eclectic yet precise arrangements are enduringly inspirational! 🤯❤️
He wrote of the ‘succession of fanciful effects’ that created a ‘poetry of architecture’ at Lincoln’s Inn Fields; a place he built as a unity of the arts, a centre of learning for centuries to come. ✨
