Such a privilege to read my poem 'Incident At St. Kilda' with great auk expert Prof. Tim Birkhead in #Sheffield. The poem was inspired by the killing of the last great auk by Hebridean islanders, who believed it was a witch. The egg featured is a replica! #folklore #poetry

@NobelPrize Beloved. It terrified me.

Remembering one of the most powerful and distinguished storytellers of our time: Toni Morrison. She became the first African American woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize when she received the literature prize in 1993. What's your favourite book by Toni Morrison?

Great audiences for Cradle of Fire #immersive @ No Bounds #festival - a new way to present the story of #Vulcan through #poetry and #film. Big thanks to my collaborator artist Diana Scarborough, @sheffhallamuni , Amy Carter Gordon and the #nobounds team. #MythologyMonday

The #immersive screening of Cradle of Fire begins Friday. In the run-up, read this dramatic guest #blog by Swedish writer Clas Svahn about flying over Mount St Helens, U.S. after the 1980 volcanic eruption! #volcano #film #mountsthelens #cradleoffire cradleoffire.com/2025/10/07/gue…

Jane Goodall had a remarkable ability to inspire us to connect with the natural wonders of our world, and her groundbreaking work on primates and the importance of conservation opened doors for generations of women in science. Michelle and I are thinking of all those who loved and admired her.
