BRUM at Uni Slam 2023 !!

So amazed by this team! Last weekend (I'm glowing to say) we won Uni Slam! The biggest university poetry competition in the UK. I continue to be awed at the kindness and talent of the poetry community. Thanks to everyone involved!

Speaking on this panel about #Art and #Environment in Lancaster tonight! Should be a really fascinating conversation. Thanks to Lancaster University and Karen Lloyd for organising it!

Just attended and gave my first talk at an academic symposium! Thanks to the @NYSSNetwork for inviting me to talk about Kirkby Lonsdale Poetry Festival Festival. Was a wonderful time and has left me feeling very motivated about planning the next one!

And there we have it- a full admission & apology that Sheffield City Council were completely in the wrong over the tree felling saga. This doesn’t, of course, bring the trees back nor undo the violence that was inflicted on the brave activists who were in the right all along 🧵

Kendal Poetry Festival changed my life. You introduced me to poets on my doorstep, and other now-favourites from further away. You gave me my first writing job and inspired me to pursue literary events as a career. Massive thanks to @kimmoorepoet and Clare Shaw.

Summer evenings with Arctic Dreams…

Biden launches American Climate Corps… Sunak waters down UK climate strategy… UN holds first Climate Ambition Summit... Historic Just Stop Oil Case dismissed… Chris Packham says it’s time to break the law… It’s been a big day. I’m frazzled.

I’m excited to be helping Kendal Museum decolonise their Natural History Collection — & make it more reflective of the climate & biodiversity crisis. They’re still looking for interested Cumbrians to get involved so drop a message to [email protected] if you fancy it!

Umm… so this happened!?! 😁 My essay 'Hope is the Thing with Flippers' is on the shortlist for The Nature Chronicles Prize 2024! 📕💚 #naturewriting #naturechronicles #hopethewhale #hope
