After more than a year away I’m delighted to share some news. I’ve just received my copy of ‘Catching the Light,’ an anthology of cricket poetry edited by Nicholas Hogg and Tim Beard. I have two poems in this gorgeous collection.

Leaving England today for Australia. It’s been a wonderful time thanks to the kindness and generosity of people I know and those I’ve only just met. Thanks especially to Ian Duhig for showing me around and beyond Leeds.

I was surprised and delighted to find this early hardcover edition of ‘Poems: 1928-1958’ by Stanley Kunitz in The Minster Gate bookshop in York.

My thanks to Ian and Jane for the tour of Ilkley and Bolton Abbey.
Zaffar Kunial’s ‘England’s Green’ seemed the perfect title for the landscape. A black-headed gull, a trout fisherman spelling the air with casts, ruins, great conversation…

In 1963, a man noticed his chickens disappearing through a hole in his basement.
He knocked through the wall, revealing what is hard to believe: a 20,000-person city, deep below ground.
It was built by Christians over 1,000 years ago... (thread) 🧵

Mousehole is indeed a magical place. Dylan Thomas used it for the fishing village in Under Milkwood
and this bloke lives here
