Happy National Poetry Day! Started the day by saying goodbye to the incredible Chris Holifield, a tremendous force for good in the poetry world and a mentor to many. She'll be much missed.

Now on to games, workshops and performances in the Poetry Cafe, which feels fitting.

That was a fun evening. Thank you #MichaelMarksAwards

Congratulations to winners Dare-gale press, Nicola Healey, Peter Collins & Ben Verinder!

Always good fun at the Trafalgar Square tree lighting ceremony (even though the heavens opened on us)!

Thanks to Valerie Bloom for the brand new @poetrysociety.bsky.social Christmas poem and to the children who performed it beautifully 🎄
