Morning all. Had a great day yesterday - poetry in Stokey (sadly I could only stay for an hour but it was an incredible line up). Read a WIP - was very nervous but glad I did it. Then - Scritti Politti at the South Bank - Greens voice sounding as wonderful as ever! Then...the footie! #musicsky
Morning all (just!) great poetry filled weekend but am exhausted. Gentle stroll along the river to Thames Ditton last night (see ALT). Been teaching Macbeth this morning. How about you?
Morning all, dipping into this, which I picked up while I was in Hastings recently. It's got some corkers in it incl work by Arthur Machen and Mary Webb - an excellent anthology from @blpublishing.bsky.social Weird Woods: Tales From From The Haunted Forests of Britain ed by John Miller #booksky
Good morning friends, today is MOT day. Yesterday was walking in fields of barley day. How about you?
Morning all, in Somerset at my best friend's house, catching up on paperwork and feeling blessed. I've been very quiet on social media recently as no headspace and also was in Dublin for a week. But am planning on getting a lot of writing done over the Summer - so will be lurking! How about you?
Getting ready to read at this tonight. A great line up of Swiss poets! I am not one of them... #poetrysky
@zoebrooks.bsky.social @suejohns.bsky.social and @adamhorovitz.bsky.social reading at The Cheshire Cheese pub in Little Essex Street on Monday evening, to celebrate the launch of Zoe's new collection Something in Nothing. Great evening of poetry! #poetrysky
The river at Kingston Upon Thames last night - perfect night for a stroll to the bridge, young 'uns out having drinks etc by the water
Red roses artfully climbing the brick wall, with a peep of the lilac front door, of a terraced house down Roupell Street. Walking back to Waterloo the other day... London is magic and always will be, although it's about a million people more busy #walking
Morning all, I had such a lovely drift around South London yesterday. Old haunts and new. And got to walk a new labyrinth (to me anyway) for World Labyrinth Day
Morning all, me and my son celebrated my dear departed Dad's birthday yesterday (amazing he wasn't called Paddy) with a pint or two o' the black stuff. Today is back to the SEN legal shenanigans and a couple of catch ups with friends and hopefully a spot of writing. How are you doing?
Funny what pops up, I wrote this nearly 10 years ago “The Art and Meaning of Land Use” for The Planner (click on the link below to read it - not v long). This was not long after my second poetry map, Over the Fields, was published. www.theplanner.co.uk/2016/05/31/a...
Mark Wallinger Seven Circuit Classical Labyrinth at Green Park Tube Station, London
Friday walk - Kingston upon Thames giving good silver light river vibes this afternoon. #walking
Early for my appointment in the Smoke, so am getting a bit of writing done.
Mustered the energy to walk to local caff for late coffee and writing. The steroids are helping!
Morning all, I was up in that London last night - lovely she looked too
The river was very high yesterday. Gonna go down and feed the hungry coots later.
My dad died two years ago today. Here's a poem I wrote for him last year. #poetrysky
Morning all, the misty River Thames, pic taken a year ago today. Hoping I have enough energy for a walk down there later.
Labyrinth books and notebooks all gathered together on one bookshelf - job done! Here's Mark Wallinger's labyrinth at Brixton tube station
