I read #NinaSimone ‘s Gum by @warrenellis.bsky.social today. Fabulous book i have meant to read for ages. Just gone for a run listening to her Philips recordings and heard Pirate Jenny in a whole new light. Wondering if the recording of the Meltdown concert has appeared yet.

One of the best sounds in the world is that of books dropping from a letterbox! Have just received these from @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social ! Read poetry! Support small presses! Literacy is power! @rushikawick.bsky.social @arainbowpoet.bsky.social #HelenTaithCurtis

My mum died of alzheimer’s early Tuesday. My head is a mess. I wrote this poem after visiting the @foundlingmuseum.bsky.social @poetrywales.bsky.social published it. It’s weird to be posting this. I am reading Joyce’s Dubliners at the moment, in a roundabout way it has prompted me to do so.

Some pics from @listencambridge.bsky.social last night. Elliot Galvin, Ruth Goller, Sebastian Roachford & Mandhira De Saram made some incredible sonic art! The original congregation of the beautiful Unitarian Church would be amazed to hear such sounds from instruments they recognise.

I read the Space Trilogy over Christmas. They are not perfect books, but when they are good they are good. That Hideous strength was my favourite of them, evoking memories of reading Wyndham, Orwell and Susan Cooper. Will tune in!

I saw Joan of Arc’s signature and the surviving MS of Julian of Norwich’s first MS yesterday, and i went to the Moomin shop so that was a good day! Thank you @britishlibrary.bsky.social thank you #MoominShop

Got this print of ‘Girl In the Woods’ by Su Blackwell, happily commemorating that time I was in Poetry Review
