Go @thevicsoc This has to be rejected. Ghost of John Betjeman cursing the proposals.
We are urging the @cityoflondon to reject plans to cantilever a tower over a listed Victorian Turkish bath house – the exterior of which is covered in show stopping tiles. Worryingly most of the proposed site is outside the tall building cluster. bit.ly/3K4q369

What an achievement from @jsaphra and congratulations both to her and @NineArchesPress for this collection. Catch the title poem being read by the author. Moving, humbling and inspiriting work.

Thrilled to read this deserved review.
It’s a (typically) brilliant collection from Diana Hendry. Understated, moving, funny. Always well-crafted.
@WorplePress Thanks to Jane Routh. @TheFridayPoem @MariscatPress

Dear @katefoxwriter I wish you the chance of silence before you blow them away. @NineArchesPress work and first book — top. Peter @WorplePress
Arrived at Glastonbury. Excited to be performing at the Poetry tent Sat.
But vv overwhelmed by people & noise. Did I forget I’m autistic? I didn’t know when last here in 2013. Just thought everyone must feel this.
Asked volunteer “Is there ANYwhere quiet?”

Deserved mention for @poetrywales and @poetrybusiness as well.
Editors such as @ZoeBrigley and all with @ButchersDogMag are the unsung heroes of the poetry world.
Against all financial odds.
Glad that @poetrywales had a mention here as a much admired poetry magazine. theguardian.com/books/2023/j…
Yet more evidence of the genius that is @tonyhusband1

Anthony Wilson’s poetry is always worth reading. Well done @no1 _Josephine. @DiodeBlue His work with @WorplePress ‘acute…astute…often poignant’ @FrogmorePress
Buy this book.
Coming next month from Blue Diode Press, Anthony Wilson's sixth collection, 'The Wind and the Rain'.
"Like driving rain, this collection will take you to the raw place of grief and carry you to where joy breaks through. —@no1_Josephine.
ALT Book cover image is from a painting by Lucy Runge. Grey background. Near the top, a brown band with the title and author name inside in white and blue respectively. Near the bottom, a grey shelf and a grey jug with two small bowls - one light blue, the other yellow.
Sign up. They’re both brilliant. @LauraScott112 and Michael Laskey will magic poems into existence.

An honour and pleasure to be at this launch. Dr Miller gave a compelling and measured account of why this well-hidden story needs to be placed at the centre of our understanding of WW2. Urgent and relevant. @SarahLouMiller @bletchleypark @BitebackPub #militaryhistory
What a WONDERFUL day launching my book at @bletchleypark! So grateful to all who attended - bet you didn’t think you were going to get a mini lesson in intelligence theory! Such a huge honour and tremendous privilege to tell the story of the WAAF in this special place ❤️
These two are simply the best. #poetry #creativewriting

@Feargal_Sharkey still doing his best to expose what the government is failing to do. They are wrecking our environment, polluting food chains, fouling streams, rivers, seas. #SewageScandal
"River pollution: Tories give MPs tips on rebutting sewage-dumping attacks from Lib Dems and Labour."
I've seen that briefing doc, it's pretty poor I have to tell you. I really wouldn't want to be a backbench MP repeating any of that in public.
