Orcadia is poem of the week in The Yorkshire Times! Totally thrilled! It will also appear in Sky Surfing ⛅️🏄, a Dirigible Balloon anthology out at the end of the year - in aid of @JARProject @TheDirigible @TheYorksTimes #Orcadia #poetry #kidlit yorkshiretimes.co.uk/writer/stevewh…

I was delighted to write a guest post for the Children's Poetry Summit blog all about promoting poetry in the classroom. Hopefully there are a few practical ideas for people to use. childrenspoetrysummit.com/2026/03/20/jon…

Hullo @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith and to fabulous #fragmentsfriday #poetry Thanks for hosting Matt!

Our minds are constantly reeling, overthinking, processing experience, stressing about all aspects of life... Someone said to me recently, 'Just be...' and so that is the subject of my #micropoetry for this week's #fragmentsfriday, with thanks to @MatthewMCSmith. #poetry

@petedevonald @adam_crowther @BBCWiltshire @BBCUpload Thanks Peter- there’s nothing like an Upload moment to spur me on! It’s become part of my writing routine now - when the words aren’t coming, send something off! 😂
