An honour to speak at the inspiring Refuge to Ravens exhibition in Parliament.
It's hugely moving to see William Wordsworth's lyrical ballads - which were about giving voice to people who were marginalised or homeless - brought to the corridors of power in Westminster.

The real reason why the triple decker novel was created ... So that these three students from @YorkStJohn could each hold a volume of Charlotte Dacre's 1806 edition of Zafloya! Had a very enjoyable workshop with creative writing students this morning. Thank you for visiting.

With great sadness, and at his wife's request, I write to tell you of the passing of a dear friend, a lovely man, a fine scholar and a Wordsworthian, Dr Mark Bruhn of Regis University. Mark died on 23rd July after a short illness. Link to his obituary tinyurl.com/2venaemm

In 2015, @WTdirector and I were warmly welcomed to Denver by Mark; he read part of 'The Prelude' for our YouTube channel. So pleased he did - youtube.com/watch?v=JEj2-apY…

We shall miss Mark greatly - whether that be in Denver or in Grasmere. I had the special pleasure of hanging out with him over beer and burgers at NASSR 2018; he gave me a copy of his book, which I treasure. A warm, wonderful man. Our thoughts and love to Kelley, Muary and Abiel.

Miscroscopic view of the eye of Thomas Bewick's Hedge Sparrow. The ink to be printed lies on raised surfaces of the wood engraving - so the glint in the eye is achieved by removal of the tiniest fragment, leaving white paper in that tiny spot.

A curious crunchy concoction. (You need the sound on). Making iron gall ink 2022 @WordsworthGras. Oak galls, iron sulphate, gum arabic and water from the stream near Dove Cottage. Then rest for three days. Using Dorothy Wordsworth's own recipe.
