It’s National Poetry Day and, as I hand over the role of Warwickshire Young Poet Laureate to the next young writer, I’m reminiscing on one of my biggest poetry highlights: performing at @poetrybyheart final at @The_Globe (and seeing the icon @MichaelRosenYes in the flesh 🤩🤩)

Poetry is portable philosophy. What you remember you take with you. #NationalPoetryDay2021

#Afrofuturism addresses the African diaspora by using SciFi to reimagine the future through a Black lens🎥💫 The genre unapologetically celebrates Black identity and African culture, providing a means for Black people to take control of their future and connect with their past

Our Young Poet Laureate @rubyfmurphy recently visited our #UnfinishedBusiness exhibition & shared with us this poem. Called Portrait of Dora, it was inspired by Dora Marr, a French painter, photographer & poet who was also the partner and muse of Pablo Picasso. @LKN_Libraries

The winning poems are breathtaking. I'm honoured to be a shortlisted poet.

Perhaps my greatest irony is that I filled those pages with all the sounds I cannot say. Freya Cook reflects on her experiences with deafness in this astonishing poem, commended in the Keats challenge on illness, health and the body. Read on: bit.ly/keatschallenge
