Always a pleasure & inspiration to work with @Heritologists. Yet more evidence of NE-US links. Good to see @dgleesonhistory and (in absentia) @irishacw representing @NUAmStudies - plus a reading of ‘Slinger’ a fab poem about Renoldson penned by @notrockyhorror of @NorthEnglishes

Loved meeting students from Taiwan's Ming Chuan University. Closely reading novel extracts and short stories one day, writing astute and sensitive poems the next. 'Seagulls are postcards' one of my favourite images. @NorthEnglishes
