Such a pleasure to talk about Tennessee Williams' Streetcar Named Desire, as modern American drama, at an A-level English study day at Aston University Engineering Academy today. Drilling deep into things like the play's "casual" multilingualism. @EnglishAston @AstonUniversity

ALT Then in a single, silent moment, I understood. I looked her in the eye, held her still. I rained with words, made music with deluges. I inscribed it as law: I am the mother, dancing in the tempest. I am the daughter, harmonising with the torrent. I am the woman, born of the storm. "Oya" by Jacinth Howard from “Hurricane Season” in “The Mother Island”

When #transportforlondon put this poem in the tube, every day I’d receive messages about the poem calming anxiety. That’s the reason that I write, to be in service. Get the Black History Month handout that begins with this poem on the tube with lots of great Black British Poets

My week long residency in Dorset is over. Thank you so much to all the volunteers and staff @DorsetMuseum for making me feel very welcomed and for providing such an enriching experience. These newly formed memories will stay with me for a very long time.
I had the pleasure of meeting @Tracy_Chevalier today, the last day of my residency @DorsetMuseum . It was great hearing about her writing process as well as absorbing all the invaluable advice she gave! #blackwriterresidency #writers #dorset
Really enjoyed my session with Y4 @POWFS today and hearing about all the wonderful stories they’re beginning to write! Thank you @Nelkcarps and @POWFS. The pleasure was mine.
Today, Y4 interviewed @afrovincy (pictured here on the left yesterday with @PJHarveyUK). Tendai is currently the Black Writer in Residence at @DorsetMuseum. Y4 had a great discussion about all things writing. Thank you Tendai for inspiring our #InspiredToLearn pupils.

Our Black Writer in Residency, Grace Peters-Clarke @afrovincy with @PJHarveyUK at @DorsetMuseum ahead of PJ Harvey's launch of her Dorset dialect narrative poem Orlam. A wonderful #Dorset day celebrating the power of words. #PJHarvey #Poetry #Orlam
Also got to meet to @Kim_Squirrell and hear about her own writing journey in her beautiful little shop. Thank you for another enlightening conversation and for my gift featuring your lovely artwork. #blackwriterresidency #blackwriters #southwest #Bridport
Another enriching day on residency day 3. Spent my day in Bridport with @BridportPrize soaking in stunning coastlines at #Westbay and then later taking in the #pagetostage film festival @BridportArts. I am carefully storing these treasures in the pockets of my memories.
Still buzzing from residency day 2 @DorsetMuseum. Meeting with @jurassicg1rl was an enlightening and endearing experience. Such an honour. Also had a great opportunity to meet @PJHarveyUK whose book #Orlam comes out this Thursday. Very inspirational! So much to take in.
I found a kindred spirit in Grace Tendai @afrovincy connecting identity, motherhood, landscapes and rocks. Grace is on residency @DorsetMuseum courtesy of @BridportPrize. A HUGE talent to watch 🤩💚 #bridportprize @KitdeWaal @DorsetMagEd @DorsetREC @Dorsetecho @ActivatePArts

The first day of my black writer residency @DorsetMuseum with @BridportPrize was really productive. Learnt more about Elisabeth Frink and her collection. @LouisaAdjoa I listened to your poem about Dorset, which really resonated with me. Day well spent!
