Old faithful mug announcing the opposite: joy to be back in the writing seat this morning. Still recovering but well enough to do this, this way. #earlymorning #writing #dowhatyoucan #dowhatyouvalue #adrenalinsufficiency

Did I just get so excited testing a hydrophone in the sink I nearly let it flow over? Will I go stick it in the frog bucket now? #hydrology #water #river #riverwriting #placewriting #naturewriting #poetry #whatisthethythmofariver #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Jul 12

Yes, he is! Here’s his latest re-arrangement of his little hot bod. Think maybe the metal of my laptop is cooling!

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Jul 12

Neither Jack nor Ted Hughes impressed by the heatwave ☀️🥵. Sporting similar glares. #schnauzer #schnauzermuse #tedhughes #heatwave

Small black mini schnauzer lies in bed on floor with one leg sticking out, glaring. Background is a bookcase with Ted Hughe’s glowering face also glaring out from the spine of a book.

Good morning bee on teasel. #bees #garden #joy

Amid the schnauzer barking, badgers chittering! #schnauzers #badgers

Winscar Reservoir. Next ‘step’ up into the watershed source of the Don. What is the rhythm of a place? How can we write it/with/thro it? #river #riverwriting #naturewriting #placewriting #poetry #fieldtrip #phenomenology #dowhatyouvalue #dowhatyoucan #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice #donriver #don

Curved stone wall of a dam built in segments, with a green metal sloping wall in long sections going down to dark blue water with white wind and wave lines on it, white clouds low down and blue sky. It looks still and windilly dynamic at once.

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Jul 8

Totally treacle source of the Don (well, where it’s first named on the map). Is it possible to write about this without comparison? Without imposing? #river #riverwriting #fieldtrip #poetry #naturewriting #placewriting #phenomenology #dowhatyouvalue #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice #donriver #don

Brownish orange river water in a small stream falling over a step about two feet wide in a cascade of whitish spills.

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Jul 7

10 secs of 2 views of ‘the’ source of The Don. Or is it 3? #riverwriting #longpoems #dislocatingtheieye #water #watersheds #hydrology #phenomenology #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice #fieldtrip

And people say cats get in the way of writing! #schnauzermuse #schnauzerz #schnauzergang

Small black pointy eared dog (looking a lot like a rabbit) sitting bang in the middle of a person’s lap. Wearing a blue & grey checked dressing gown. The person that is, not the dog.

Same little black dog sitting up staring at camera with model look, blond woman with glasses on and sticky uppy hair underneath & behind him.

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Apr 28

One of these is having more luck finding their breakfast.

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Apr 26

Yes, the rabbits are out of the hat 🐇 ! Skin the Rabbit, a feral mini-chapbook about looking, beautifully designed & hand-printed by Kym Deyne at The Braag will be launching with me @lyrafest.com 5pm today and at the Free Verse Fair - limited edition stuff! Come/go have a 👀 👋 #poetrybluesky #bluesky

Anyone know what this is? On my lavender. #moths #butterflies #insects #cocoon #naturewriting

Black and gold striped cocoon or grub body hanging down off a dry twig of lavender plant. Green shoots of lavender around it.

Fan mail for Jack in the post! He is entirely nonchalant about it. #schnauzer #schnauzergang #schnauzerfans

Small black schnauzer dog asleep on a red rug on a blue bed, with a white card showing a similar dog held in front of him and a little black metal sculpture of a mini schnauzer in the palm of the person’s hand. None of this takes away from the criminally horrible rug below.

Me up a hill, a long time ago. Looking down at a loch that had just appeared when the mist blew away, I remember. #cairngorms #hillwalkingscotland #hills #walking #time

Small girl with blond hair in a blue Caghoul looking across at something out of site. She’s sitting on the side of a hill top which is greenish greyish brown with a white patch of snow behind her head. She’s pink in the face from wind & cold.

Who are you calling an April Fool, Mum? Max is not impressed. But that’s better ears & an eye sorted. Soon he’ll be able to see and hear all the evil. #coneofshame #schnauzers #schnauzergang #arseybarkholes #aprilfool

King of the Schnauzers, in a crown, which is a white plastic cone round his head. Grey little dog looking down at decking.

Schnauzer Schniffari Olympics. How To Train Your Schnauzer. The ladder is extra. (knackering out Jack b4 bro Max gets home from vet nasties) #maxandjack #arseybarkholes #schnauzerschool #schnauzer #schnauzerworld #schnauzergang #scentwork #scentworktraining

Lots of plant pots set out in groups over garden decking & grass. Big ladder at the side.

Small black superstar mini-schnauzer dog with sticky up ears sniffing grey pots on green grass.

Aforementioned little black mini schnauzer dog looking through a glass door, sitting waiting his turn.

Would just like to report belatedly that Mack this morning described our eldest as an arsey barkhole. Let this not go unrecorded & uncelebrated. #schnauzer #schnauzergang #dogsofBluesky

Lovely little grey mini schnauzer peacefully eating his dinner out of a white bowl with a red star on a wooden floor. The floor is a disgrace but the dog is actually quite good.

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Mar 24

Here be skylarks. And some lapwings, a curlew, grouse. Drive there on my own for the first time in two years. Without fatigue, I’d get the bus. But without brain metastases, I can drive. Freedom. #skylarks #birds #birdwatching #birding

Scrubby yellowish grass field (sward) with low brown hill curving just at the horizon in and out of view. White clouds in clumps with blue sky above. The clumps of grass & clouds appear to mirror each other. There are no skylarks actually visible.

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Mar 21

Giant panther found loose in Sheffield!!! No, it’s a Jack-in-the-pots! #schnauzer #schnauzergang #schauzers #dogsofBluesky

Massive looking black animal with cat like tail and indistinct ears running towards camera over grass. Oh no, it’s a small schnauzer dog.

Pick of aforementioned black mini schnauzer dog now zoomed out to show him even mini-er than the grey mini schnauzer standing next to him looking unimpressed.

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Mar 20

In the face of people saying starry things about me recently, Mack’s keeping me grounded. Passed this mug my way this morning. #knowthyself #fool

A white mug with black writing on it: ‘The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.’ Held in a person’s left hand up to a window with a green plant behind.

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Mar 11

Thanks to Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus for commissioning City of Sound for the Stella Jockel Young Composers’ Competition. I’ll be reading it at the cathedral next Sunday. In the excellent company of texts by Katharine Towers & Fiona Sampson. #poetry #singing #composition ##choralmusic #sheffield

Off to try to find a thalweg at Spey Bay. Using this wonderful book. #rivers #readingwater #writingwater #naturewriting

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Feb 19

Turns out I don’t know how to teach without piles & post-its. Ready for a little talk about metaphor at Sheffield Hallam tonight. Old Post Office, 6.30pm, free & open to all. Also reading from Nowhere Near As Safe As A Snake In Bed #poetry #metaphor #poetrybluesky #bookSky

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Feb 11

OMG. Just pawed thro Adrienne Rich’s A Human Eye 4 times for a quote re. metaphor which has soaked into my thinking but I can’t ever quite remember… only to find it in What Is Found There: Notebooks on Politics & Poetry- ‘Resemblance in difference’ = ‘Hope for a humane civil life.’ #metaphor #poetry

Black and white photo of a human eye open staring up. Above black on white text ‘A Human Eye: Essays on Art and Society’ by Adrienne Rich. This is not the right book I was looking for.

Susie Wilson@concordmoose· Feb 4

Thank you!!! I am still possibly in a sulk, what with the backlog of grooming I am having to do now… but IT is OFF. You can join me tomorrow morning for On The Sofa With Jack’s episode of ‘Dogs Shouldn’t Wear Collars’.
