For #NationalPoetryDay: this passage from Geoffrey Hill's heartbroken, incantatory 'The Pentecost Castle'

Such fun talking Wittgenstein, Shakespeare, house parties & holy fools with Adam Biles & @LukeKennard for the Shakespeare&Company podcast this morning. Our episode airs later this month - more soon.

For #RemembranceDay2021 rereading Richard Barnett 's extraordinary poetic exploration of the experiences that shaped Wittgenstein’s ‘Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus’

A long piece I wrote for ⁦@theQuietus⁩ about the great Russell Hoban. thequietus.com/articles/30786…

An utter joy to talk about my @valleypress 'Wherever We Are When We Come To The End' with Luke Kennard & Adam Biles on the latest Shakespeare&Company podcast:

'Pray don't talk to me about the weather, Mr Worthing. Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I feel quite certain they mean something else.'

This was exquisite fun, and a chance to get closer to Ulysses than I've been in years. Thanks, Shakespeare&Company, for the invitation.

Delightful, lively conversation (drawing on my Thames & Hudson / Wellcome Collection 'The Smile Stealers), on the oddly tough question of when we began to brush our teeth. Thanks Zing Tsjeng! open.spotify.com/episode/2btatl…

Thank you to everyone who came to Saturday's Q&A at GALLERY46. I had a great time talking to @DrDJBarnes about my biography of Ezra Maas, the value of art, taking risks as a writer, & more, in a conversation since described as 'Pynchonesque' which can only be a good thing.

This is *extraordinary*: a gorgeously slow drone tour of the (reconstructed) hut Wittgenstein built on a Norwegian fjord in the years before WW1. Now if only they'd do the same for the Haus Wittgenstein in Vienna ...

The BFI on London's South Bank is showing the 1985 film of Turtle Diary, based on Russell Hoban's novel, on 21 & 29 July whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/default…

My advice is put your chocolate digestives in the fridge.
