Some poems I love for how they shift in the light, year after year. Like this Auden, for instance.

[The White Review @TheWhiteReview]

"The explosion happened one mid-morning at the Swan Custard Factory."

A treat for the holidays: new fiction from Camilla Grudova

📚 Fantastic to see our @Hercules_Leeds book, *The Modern #Hercules: Images of the Hero from the Nineteenth to the Early Twenty-First Century*, out now - just in time for a #classicalreception Christmas 🎁

This is an absolutely effing phenomenal story and a one-stop demonstration of why we need Arts/Humanities researchers (or, even better, since there's some geology in there too, why the STEM/SHAPE divide is doing nobody any favours)

[King's Centre for Hellenic Studies @kingsCHS]

This week for #HellenicFridays we’re recommending Joshua Barley’s translation of a Greek folk song, published in the latest issue of 'Pericles at Play'. Grab yourself a cup of tea and enjoy ‘The Return of the Long-Lost Husband’ here: https://t.co/83x0OYlEmn
