Great discussion this evening with @kathrynaalto and @dr_hick launching Clare's new book The Doctor's Garden - thank you both! Love the idea of 'reading' the garden in tandem with other spaces/collections of knowledge.

@kathrynaalto I found out the other week that indigenous Australians have 7 seasons which I found fascinating- I didn’t know in Japanese culture there were even more! Def going to read up more on this :)

I have loved attending #TheFriendlyLittleWritingSchool over the past four Mondays. Thank you @kathrynaalto and @herdyshepherd1 for being such generous and inspiring mentors and such brilliant company 🍻 Huge thanks also to @edcaesar @jane_janeclarke & @robbiecowen!🙏

[Kathryn Aalto @kathrynaalto]

Listening to our amazing friend @robbiecowen read an excerpt from his manuscript THE ROAD (2023) showed just how he is a master of narrative nonfiction. Show, don't tell. Thank you Rob for your generosity. @herdyshepherd1 #TheFriendlyLittleWritingSchool

HAIKU REVIEW
A serviceable
Translation, well-acted, but
Not sure what it adds?

HAIKU REVIEW:
Skilful telling of
World events through characters
Who feel authentic.

Fascinating insta chat with @kathrynaalto and @herdyshepherd1 this eve - thank you! Nature writing, feminism, race, culture, well being & disability... my mind is buzzing with inspiration on writers to check out and yet another idea for a PhD 😂 Can’t wait to read #writingwild

HAIKU REVIEW:
Depth lost out to breadth.
It hit whodunnit notes but
Was light on dark grit.

#haiku #review of #viennablood, #BBC2

[Freya Willetts @FreyaWilletts]

HAIKU REVIEW:
Intense portrait of
Inherited memory;
Immersive and raw.
