I've spent the last three years researching my PhD on Thomas Bewick's 'A History of British Birds' so every day is #NationalBirdDay for me. Here's one of my favourite locals, the magpie. Collective nouns: a gulp, a tittering or a mischief.

@LauraS_poet Thanks, Laura! I'm stepping in at the last minute, so I'm getting all the pre-gig nerves in one convenient dose!

Roy @rmcfarlane63 and I have been enthusiastically selecting collections together for the @PoetryBookSoc over the past two years, so we'll be raising a glass to all the fantastic books we've read, selected and reviewed. And, of course, to us - it's been a blast!

Congratulations to editors @_dodo & @iam_tahminaali & all the poets for the launch of the Thresholds poetry anthology at last week's @NCLA_tweets event - a great atmosphere & one of the busiest poetry events I have been to. I also managed to get a haul of @ButchersDogMag issues!

Monday morning is all about these lines from Victoria Chang's The Trees Witness Everything: There is a bird and a stone in your body. Your job is not to kill the bird with the stone. ●

Can't believe my first ever event chairing was An Evening with THE @JackieKayPoet! Still pinching myself. Thanks for such a wonderful night with two gorgeous and enormously talented poets, @durhambookfest. You put together a lush powerhouse! My heart feels ten times fuller.

@JackieKayPoet @durhambookfest @NewWritingNorth @PoetryBookSoc Oh no! I hope you get a seat, Jackie. Or at least a window until you do. Such a long journey but beautiful views on the way. The cathedral is incredible isn't it? I'm not religious, but it's worth catching an evensong. All that silent grandeur fills up quick with song x

@_dodo @durhambookfest @NewWritingNorth @PoetryBookSoc Twas a great night! Love this pic. On my way to Cardiff now on an unseemly packed train - wild- trying to hold on to Durham, the gig, lighting a candle in the cathedral and brekkie in Flat White! Went there cos of the queue - who knew! But queues inside trains not good! 😹😹

Inspired by @DrJaninaRamirez's recent photos from Rouen, here's a poem I wrote about one of my icons, Joan of Arc, plus a favourite rendering of her face. Poem title translates to 'the stake'.

@MalcolmChishol1 @ForwardPrizes @_dodo Thank you so much for these very kind words Malcolm, and for your support. I loved and was very moved by Cindy's poem, and by Jo's reading of it. A very worthy winner. ❤️🙏☺️

If you're not used to reading poetry then the @ForwardPrizes collection is the perfect place to start including shortlisted best single poems below especially @minorroarr and Cindy Juyoung Ok's powerfully moving poem about domestic abuse which is reproduced under @_dodo comment.
Dr Jo Clement@_dodo

LOVE the range of voices on the @ForwardPrizes Best Single Poem shortlist this year. Vasiliki, Derek, Lisa, Tife & Cindy - amazing poems. Reading Cindy's winning poem was an uneasy honour. I know domestic abuse too well and felt every damn word. Read it: forwardartsfoundation.org/poem/ward-of-o…
