For those accused of having too many books Robinince.com #poetry #poem
UNREAD There in a stack Of irresistible potential Mainly unread But don't ask "Why do you still buy When so many words are not touched by your eyes" Because before the spine is cracked Without my fingers touching pages, the ideas leak and spread around the room Seep through the ears And into the synapses while I sleep Listen carefully You'll hear the hum Of future thoughts becoming present

That's the first time I've actually cheered a line in one his speeches. His best so far. Has he found his mojo at last?

@robinince.bsky.social Just wanted to say thanks for book fest talk at Felixstowe on Sunday, something you said has made me think about my own cloak of anxiety. Brilliant book. 🙂

I love this snowdrop lore; never knew they had a job to do (mine are in a backyard tub looking after 4 flats).

Candlemas is a festival of light, halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. On Candlemas Eve, Shropshire folk brought Snowdrops, or 'Christ's flower' indoors, to purify the home. Associated with Jesus, they removed any negative energies and protected the domestic space.

Solidarity with all those @theguardian.com journalists on strike today over the proposed sale of @observeruk.bsky.social to a commercial start up, whose output is kept behind a paywall.

Don't do this, Scott Trust.

The need for a strong, free & independent press has never been greater. 1/2

Today I’m on strike. For journalism without fear or favour; for the future of the Guardian; and most of all for our beloved newspaper The Observer, 233 years old today, being put at existential by its billionaire owner. Happy birthday to The Observer 🎂❤️.

Today’s poem is called ‘First Date’.
First Date    We’d so much in common, that was clear from the start:  a marriage of souls, like de Beauvoir and Sartre.  The connection was instant, almost irrational:  simply simpatico, fully compatible.    You confessed you loved winter, north Yorkshire, and cats.  ‘Me, too!’ I responded. ‘How amazing is that?’   You were wild about Wharton: you loved Ethan Frome.  ‘His best,’ I said, thinking I’d read him when home.     You praised a revival of Pinter’s Dumb Waiter.  I nodded along. I should google that later.  The discussion then turned to things that you hated:  Pulp Fiction, you thought, was quite over-rated.    ‘You make some good points,’ I eventually said.  I could always hide that poster under my bed.   You spoke of a loathing of poetry that rhymed  and I said yes,  that stuff’s awful.  Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘The Question’.
The Question    Erm, well – I begin, shifting nervously in my chair –  if it’s true there is no heaven and no hell,   no eternity or long hereafter,   no divine plan or offstage direction from an invisible hand,  then how do we make sense of it all,  how do we make our way through this life, this glorious, ridiculous, ramshackle world of ours,  with its wars and brutality, conflicts and petty arguments,  the ten thousand tiny acts of kindness   which happen unnoticed before breakfast,  and all that love and pain, happiness and loneliness  that comes to us unannounced, by turns,   as if we ourselves were pitched daily   onto the waves of one of its vast, mysterious oceans,  not knowing whether today is the day we drown  or we find ourselves washed up   on some strange but friendly shore?     Mmm – you say, after a lengthy silence –  what I meant was … do you have any questions   about the job?  Brian Bilston
