A new episode of 'Demystifying Poetry' has dropped, with the brilliant Brian Bilston. Find it wherever you get your podcasts. This is a street I found by chance today- in Wolverhampton where I went to an exhibition. Hope you enjoy- I loved this one!

Am so chuffed by this :)

Another year of #TheTraitors, another year of amazing chalkboards. #TraitorsUK

That Alexander off The Traitors was born for the little guest table on Saturday Kitchen. Bit of Countryfile. Radio 4 podcast about diplomacy. Celebrity Masterchef finalist. Housewives' favourite. Bag secured for a decade.

Chuffed at the reviews so far for 'Demystifying Poetry' (wherever you get your podcasts) #demystifyingpoetry Brian Bilston

I have a geeky new article up on James Joyce Online Notes about Dawson's speech in 'Aeolus'; plus I get to cite Peter Cook! jjon.org/joyce-s-allusi…

The more you read, the better it gets.

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/40UJur…

On #ValentinesDay , here’s what is considered to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem. It was written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus.

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/7tlk6N…

I’m the guest on Demystifying Poetry, ep. 6, Prof Tara Stubb’s podcast ☺️. Can recommend all the episodes!

This is how I am today, but when I was more awake I recorded 6 eps of 'Demystifying Poetry', all of which you can listen to (wherever you get your podcasts). Please consider leaving a review, as I'd love to do more 😀. Do you like the mix of guests, or would you mix it up more?

Happy World Poetry Day to all who celebrate. If you’re interested in writing poetry yourself, I hope this poem will be of some use.

You can celebrate World Poetry Day today by catching up on my podcast series, 'Demystifying Poetry'. More episodes will be published later in the spring. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/demys…
