My @ObsNewReview poetry picks are Karl O'Hanlon's Herronâs Dream Diary @ShearsmanBooksâsome say surrealism has had its moment but this wildly imaginative debut proves otherwiseâ& Christopher Reid's slow yet striking Ordinary Morning Sunlight @FaberBooksâď¸observer.co.uk/contributor/jâŚ
On @BBCRadio4 with Simon Armitage discussing his new Gilgamesh & comparably muddy origins behind my @FaberBooks bookâft cuneiform I catalogued & curated as inaugural writer-in-residence at Londonâs new Museum of Writing, 100,000 artefacts on show⨠@tds153

Also in Poetry Review @PoetrySociety. @JadeCuttle writes evocatively of her passion for soil, & of 'the bold & beating heart of 'Nature Matters: Vital Poems from the Global Majority'.

Jennifer Lee Tsai's first full-length poetry book Melete is reviewed in @ObserverUK of 3 May. With thanks to @JadeCuttle for featuring Melete as a Poetry Book of the Month.
Must poets always be so serious, I ask in @ObserverUK? Might we âshed majesty, for a momentââquery the âroleâ? As balloons turn sentient & aliens steal jobs, fun gains fourth-person presence in @BetaRish's delightfully surreal Cherry Blossom at Nightbreakđ¸observer.co.uk/culture/booksâŚ
Unsafe is not a peaceful readâit sounds blaring sirens & squealing balloons that snag in hedges. Still I pick this brave & unsettling title by @KMcCarthyWoolf for my @ObserverUK February book column reflecting on Nature Matters @FaberBooks @BloomsburyBooks observer.co.uk/culture/booksâŚ

Thd @ObserverUKâs @JadeCuttle digs up some of the finest lines in @MrRavoonâs âDirt Rich,â one of the finest collections Iâve read in a long while, and identifies what makes these often bleakly funny poems, at bottom, so unexpectedly uplifting. observer.co.uk/culture/booksâŚ
