Hurrah and a big thank you to @theinterpreter6 for publishing my villanelle 'Bertha at North Lees Hall' here theinterpretershouse.org/flint-77 - inspired by the Peak District landscape, Charlotte Bronte and Jean Rhys.

So much love for Blackpool Illuminations - what a great salute! @laurenlaverne @BBC6Music My own little celebration of The Lights and Blackpool below

Morning @BBCRadMac @BBC6Music - seldom heard Christmas tracks, how about Beefheart's 'there ain't no Santa Claus on the evening stage'? I bet Beefheart never had an opportunity clock.

@JoelleMcNichol @BBC6Music @laurenlaverne Cylob! Yes!

@BBC6Music @laurenlaverne A couple of faves for your bass #peoplesplaylist: Cylob’s ‘Cut the Midrange, Drop the Bass’ and Swede Mason’s ‘Masterchef Synesthesia (Buttery Biscuit Bass)’. Smile inducing bass themed fun.

A bass-heavy #PeoplesPlaylist surely has to feature Joe Dart from the mighty @vulfpeck - how about Dean Town? @laurenlaverne @BBC6Music m.youtube.com/watch?v=le0BLA…

Morning @themarkrad and @StuartMaconie any chance of a bit of Joan Jett putting another dime in the Jukebox to welcome our beautiful new Jukebox, restored by @Jukeboxesdirect @BBC6Music

@James__Dixon You don't need to read it, but it's a fantastic book so why not?

Hey, question… do I really need to read The Handmaid’s Tale before I read The Testaments if I’ve watched the tv show?

Hey @StuartMaconie @BBC6Music - about to head out for a walk along Stanage Edge, could you pause the #AllDayRave90s bangers for 5 mins so we can stop dancing and leave the house?

@atarbuck Seeing ALL the stars in a really dark sky - still common in other parts of the world, but not where I live 🌠

This is a snippet from a poem I wrote in response to our @AllFootsteps event and walk in Oxford back in April. You can hear/watch the full poem as a short film in this blog post which has more info about the event allourfootsteps.uk/blog-1/oxford-… #ResearchPoetry #CRMethods

📣Save the date - 26 June. Walkley Words returns to Walkley as a live event. Jane Monach and Jenny Hockey will be bringing a host of locally published poets to Fir Street Community Centre on Sunday 26 June. The event starts at 7pm. There will also be an open mic session.

@HMTruscott @PoetLyall A slightly different take on it but this one by Linda Pastan gets me every time poets.org/poem/imaginary…

Okay, poetry folks. I need suggestions for a poem to be read aloud that will suggest ‘the wonder of the world’. Anyone got any ideas? Because I have been selecting poems for hours now and my brain is fried.

@JennyMitchellGo @McrPoetryLib A very accomplished poem. Bravo! I look forward to reading more of your 'Jane Eyre' collection, a book that seems to have afterlives for so many readers...me included!

My sestina, 'Delicately Wrought', placed in the Binstead Prize, is described by the judge as 'Detailed as filigree, strong as steel'. Part of my draft collection after 'Jane Eyre'. Reading at the South Downs Festival. binsted.org/poetry-comp-22 @McrPoetryLib
