Thank you so much to @ByLeavesWeLive and @iforapglyn for selecting one of my #surburbia poems from A Landscape to Figure In @RedSquirrelPres for #bestScottishpoems published last year scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/in-suburb…
This has been a wonderful way to mark the changing season with walking, nature, creativity & community - many thanks to @artwalkporty and @greenspacetrust
Yesterday we had our final 5 Walks, 5 trees, 5 Poems outing- we tried our hands at coppicing and made walking sticks and mandalas. Just lovely!
Hope you’re all right, friends. Thinking about the #climate , the news, and the world we will leave for young people. Some #ecopoetry for you from Burning Season! @BloodaxeBooks #poetry #poetrycommunity
Could the driver of @on_lothianbuses 4 with the yellow Marie Curie livery be a bit more considerate to cyclists please? You brushed intimidatingly close to me twice a few mins back on Colinton Mains Drive.

Slightly shy about posting this. But I took on Sir Jonathan Bate in the Scotsman this week. I love some of his critical writing, but he’s wrong when he says that state school students have lost the ability to read long books. They just need adaptable, realistic curricula.
Programme launch day! 🛶🌊
It's here! After a slight pause, and some stormy seas, we are overjoyed to announce the @PTBOpoetry programme. In response to an unexpected venue change, this year’s festival will set sail across @DanceBase @DovecotStudios @ScotStoryCentre and Pleasance pushtheboatout.org/programme/
A celebration of the late John Burnside and his life and work will take place on Wednesday 16 October at the University of St Andrews. The memorial service in St Salvator’s Chapel will be followed by a reception in Lower College Hall. All welcome. events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/a-celeb…
Spent a splendid morning at Craigmiller Castle Park for the first walk of ‘five trees and five poems: an Autumn almanac’. We were spoilt by the weather and the company, as well as Sarah leading us in connecting to the space through art and Jonathan’s meditations.
#flourishing @TheBinksHub last week - I’m photographing the collage for logistics / reassembly purposes (also #dyspraxic), not texting someone!
Another wonderfully creative day @TheBinksHub - we have been working with ekphrastic writing approaches to explore and develop understandings of #flourishing
At @EdinburghUni @TheBinksHub this week to demonstrate & discuss #ekphrasis, and facilitate a new set of collaborate quatrains in response to their wonderful 'flourishing' collage
The new Chicago Manual of Style is out and it's no longer required to mention place of publication. It's a sad day for Basingstoke.
🚨🏴 Scotland’s cultural landscape is at risk of collapse, due to continued inaction and backtracking from the Scottish Government. Please join me in signing the @_CFTA petition to urge ministers to deliver on their arts funding pledges now. campaignforthearts.org/petitions/scot…

Love archives? @louisewelsh00 and I need a research assistant for an intersectional local history project in association with our friends @wcdtgarden PT over 14 weeks, so would suit a doctoral researcher... jobs.ac.uk/job/DIT752/res…
A truth every artist knows and a crisis for our whole society. "The UK now has one of the lowest levels of public funding for the arts and culture among European nations." theguardian.com/culture/articl…
Re-stocked from @RedSquirrelPres in time for Pentland Heather bloom of ‘24 (also contains a lot of other colours / locations / times) and some events. DM me if you’d enjoy sending me to the post office.
Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the…
