Hello everyone. I'm sure, like me, you're devastated by the images we're seeing in the wake of Hurricane Beryl. I've set up a gofundme as a way of starting a roof fund for Carriacou. Please share and donate however you can x gofundme.com/f/hurricane-be…

Our #ignitionpress submission window closes on Sunday! If you're an emerging poet who hasn't yet published a pamphlet, chapbook, or book-length collection, do consider submitting. You can find more details on our website: brookes.ac.uk/research/units…

Today! Looking forward to showcasing our #ignitionpress pamphlets and hosting some poetry readings. Come and join us (and bring an umbrella)!

I wrote about radical archiving around the UK that's in the mould of Saidiya Hartman but digging up hidden black history in places like … Rotherham. Sheffield's Dig Where You Stand looks incredible btw theguardian.com/culture/articl…

.Royal Historical Society is deeply concerned by the scale and speed of further #History redundancies Goldsmiths, University of London. These cuts will remove student choice, wreak havoc on careers, and end specialist teaching and research. Our statement: bit.ly/3zO2nAF #twitterstorians 1/5 🧵⬇️

There’s a poem about this guy in my pamphlet not because he’s a cartoon or joke. It’s there because wrestling tells us something about the world, about a nation and its desires. Sometimes, stuff is just right in front of us if we can bring ourselves to look at it.

ANY programme that equates 'emerging writers' with 'young writers' discriminates in particular against women. Time and again I see women come to writing seriously in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond because they were *unavailable for their own creative practice in earlier years*.

This was brilliant. A must watch.

Such a briliantly crafted but painful documentary. The price Linford Christie had to pay for daring to use sporting success to help establish Black Britishness as a cohesive identity in the early 1990's was and remains immense.

fever dream.
