Thank you @joshuaseigal.bsky.social for highlighting this story. I included a wildcat poem in a 2005 collection. I did wonder if it was now an extinct poem.

It’s a privilege to share touching moments with people in workshops Today, a 9yr old read aloud a poem recounting the day his parents told him they were divorcing. At the end of the day, a teacher showed me an otter poem he’d written, because he knew it was my kind of subject.

It’s Anti Bullying Week, Nov 10-14th. Brian Moses has put together a helpful collection of poems, over on X. If you don’t venture over to The Dark Side, here’s one that might encourage discussion with your older pupils.

Back home after a wonderful day workshopping, to a pile of presents from Lush. They’ve used my poem ‘Street lights’ in some of their gifts again this Christmas, and always send gifts alongside the fee. Long soak in the bath tonight, for me. Ding dong merrily on high to you all!
