I'm presenting @BBCRadio3's Sunday Feature from the fens—with a squelch. Interviewing Rob Macfarlane & @carolinedavison, we don our brown-tinted spectacles to show how poets, like Vaughan Williams, see flatness as somewhere fertile for creativity to land https://t.co/z8Xt2eBuPy

“I was excited by the opportunity to unleash [the objects] from their cage,” says @JadeCuttle

Now on display at the Museum of Writing @SenateHouseLib is a huge private collection of writing-related ephemera spanning more than 5,000 years

It's 100 years since Virginia Woolf wrote On Being Il. As presenter @KirstyWark & I discuss her legacy on @BBCRadio4 @BBCFrontRow I reach for medicine of my own—a snuff jar of soil—read my muddy sonnet (soilnet @FaberBooks)& announce my @metoffice collab🌤 https://t.co/meoZ4Ag00r

[ALISON BRACKENBURY @ABRACKENBURY]

Also in Poetry Review @PoetrySociety. @JadeCuttle writes evocatively of her passion for soil, & of 'the bold & beating heart of 'Nature Matters: Vital Poems from the Global Majority'.

Jennifer Lee Tsai's first full-length poetry book Melete is reviewed in @ObserverUK of 3 May. With thanks to @JadeCuttle for featuring Melete as a Poetry Book of the Month.

Must poets always be so serious, I ask in @ObserverUK? Might we “shed majesty, for a moment”—query the “role”? As balloons turn sentient & aliens steal jobs, fun gains fourth-person presence in @BetaRish's delightfully surreal Cherry Blossom at Nightbreak🌸https://t.co/SfEnlFTWQD

[jadecuttle @JadeCuttle]

Unsafe is not a peaceful read—it sounds blaring sirens & squealing balloons that snag in hedges. Still I pick this brave & unsettling title by @KMcCarthyWoolf for my @ObserverUK February book column reflecting on Nature Matters @FaberBooks @BloomsburyBooks https://t.co/43mLmLtJXH

[Boris Dralyuk @BorisDralyuk]

Thd @ObserverUK’s @JadeCuttle digs up some of the finest lines in @MrRavoon’s “Dirt Rich,” one of the finest collections I’ve read in a long while, and identifies what makes these often bleakly funny poems, at bottom, so unexpectedly uplifting. https://t.co/FBk7egEN9b

[Josephine Balmer @jobalmer]

Very thrilled by this lovely review of my Selected Poems from @ShearsmanBooks in today’s The Observer @ObsNewReview by the incredibly thoughtful @JadeCuttle.

I wrote a personal thinkpiece for @ObserverUK on Phillis Wheatley, the largely forgotten first Black poet whose nature poems preceded Wordsworth/Keats, to celebrate Britain's first anthology of global majority nature poets @FaberBooks Nature Matters ed @arshi_mona @KMcCarthyWoolf

Simon Armitage makes peace with the dead

In New Cemetery, the poet laureate draws on the wonder of moths and the death of his father to produce a haunting sequence of poems.

My @ObserverUK column has @arshi_mona as best poetry book this month; @ChattoBooks @vintagebooks—“marginal women” of Greek tragedy, tossed “like dusty moths into the night”, turn “stuffed rags” into freedom flags💪🏽Recs for next column? @felicitybryan https://t.co/SZe1jQ7OSp

@HeyAstranaut Yes please, loved your last exhibition!

'What isn't nature poetry, when everything we know begins and ends with the earth?'

@JadeCuttle is at the University of Cambridge, researching British nature poets of colour. Listen to her Essay on BBC R3, that highlights upcoming anthology Nature Matters: https://t.co/PavhNLdt4m
