Gold spills through the window, onto the sofa, seeping across the floor, climbing the chair. Atoms of dust caught in a shaft of light, shining like stars in an afternoon universe. Patrick Murphy #poetry #amwriting #UKpoetry @IMcMillan

As a visual artist, I’m finding my feet when it comes to writing verse. But I like the challenging and find it rewarding. Here’s something I've been working on. Afternoon’s Universe Can you hear it, the blackbird’s song healing the street, heads lifting 1/2

Regent Street glows with reflections of the past: shop lights, bus lights, old faces, the past puddled at my feet. A promise that some things don’t need to be seen to still be standing. I walk on, holding what I love. 2/2

A great morning with @IMcMillan Afterwards, I took a photo of the disappearing town hall. It made me write this short poem. The Kind of Day A grey, wet, maudlin Friday. The town hall disappears, drifting in and out of being— like a Barnsley Brigadoon. 1/2

NEWS: As demolition works commence this week on the Abbey Walk Car Park in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, C20 has backed renewed calls to save 40 auto-inspired sculptural concrete panels by artist Harold Gosney (1937-). Abbey Walk was designed by architects Nicholson & Rushton and built in 1969 by Holst & Company of Scunthorpe at a cost of approximately £200,000. The concrete panels are structural pillars, cast in situ and featuring a repeated series of 4 abstract designs – some flipped 180 degrees. In an interview with the BBC, Gosney explained the inspiration for these: “The four designs I produced were inspired by drawings in the handbook of the car that I had at the time, which was an Austin Cambridge estate car, and included suspension, carburettor, etc.” The car park closed in May 2024 after structural defects were found due to water ingress, with the Council opting to demolish the structure at a cost of £750,000. In March last year, a conservation team from Lincoln university used 3D technology to scan the artworks and created a digital model so they can be reprinted in the future. However, local campaigner Angela Greenfield from Grimsby, Cleethorpes and District Civic Society has said: "We're still hoping some of the sculptures will be saved. 3D scans don't cut it. They're a scan, not the piece of art"

75 years ago today, the Chuck Jones masterpiece Rabbit of Seville was released. If you are of a certain age, chances are Bugs Bunny introduced you to opera.

Discovering the library as a child was one of the greatest joys of my life and I wouldn't be where I am today without the books I read there. I would like to say thank you to librarians for everything they do, both for reading and for their communities. #SupportYourLibrary

James Stewart was not supposed to cry in this scene of It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) Real war experience drove him to tears. He once said, "As I said those words, I felt the loneliness, hopelessness of people who had nowhere to turn. I broke down sobbing.”
