Term ended on Friday… Marking awaits but first, Lee and I’ve taken a mini break away. First stop is the Tutankhamun immersive experience at the Excel in London. A bit pricy but a very fun experience. If you’re into VR you’ll love this.

Brilliant day at States of Independence in #DMU today. Everything went better than I'd even hoped. Sold books and prints. Gave a workshop - well received. Fabulous company. Now utterly exhausted.

A little reminder of my short story collection In Their Absence:

A powerful dissection of what it means to go missing, exploring the human complexities behind the headlines & statistics to reveal unsettling truths about what it is to live in the shadow of absence.

@willbuckingham.bsky.social The NY Times recently did an article on Jansson’s Alice in Wonderland. Felt like you thing… :)

Alice in Moominland
Tove Jansson’s illustrations for a rare 1966 edition of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” are melancholy, complex and occasionally scary.

Today’s bookcase snippet is from one of my favourite poets.

‘The rastaman thinks, draw me a map of what you see / then I will draw a map of what you never see’

From ‘The Cartographer Tries to Map a Way to Zion’ by Kei Miller.

So nice when you walk past someone and you both say, .’good morning’ and smile. A fleeting moment of shared humanity…

Yesterday, I enjoyed some time with my students at the DMU archives. If you’re interested in the catalogue you can find it here. It’s well worth a gander… My nerdy self was drawn to the early spaceflight items and micro-computing objects from the 1970s/80s.

Apologies for self-promotion but I’m doing a reading at 2pm next Thursday afternoon (National Poetry Day). It’s for Nottingham Poetry Society, which is a good organisation, and audience members would be very welcome. There will be an open mic too. Cost for non-members is £4 and it’s in a pub.

the windows within windows,
the water-leaves and sun-leaves’

My lovely boyfriend gave me the whole Dune collection for Xmas. Here’s the opening of the saga…

‘In the week before their departure to Arrakis, when all the final scurrying about had reached a nearly unbearable frenzy, an old crone came to visit the mother of the boy, Paul.’

Another snippet from my bookcase.

‘So quietly did I sit, my pencil/darting its neon abdomen,/holm oaks enclosed me in an aisle./I drew the water’s wings,/the windows within windows,/the water-leaves and sun-leaves.’

From ‘The Dragonfly Daughter’ - Pascale Petit

I’ve had little time to write lately, teaching’s been very busy. Picked something to read instead, here’s a snippet.

‘Stations built of overlapping chords, where we/laid our heads on the hard wooden benches/and dreamed our own cathedrals, man woman and child.’

From ‘A Lost Patrimony’ - Peter Riley
