From the quagmires of Dartmoor to the moors of Wuthering Heights, bogs are bewitching places. Join Anna Chilvers and Clare Shaw on Sunday 19 January for their creative writing workshop exploring the magic of bogs. https://t.co/OuT8JhcdRo

Not long now until @PoetryAldeburgh festival 8-10 Nov. I'm excited to talk about being part of @poets4theplanet and to read from my latest poetry project. The theme of the festival is WATER and so I will be sharing how my project on WASTE responds to an idea of water poetics.

So excited for this year's poetry festival #aldeburgh. Fantastic line-up, exciting workshops (see programme at link below). And a privilege to be part of the first evening's opening events with @poets4theplanet exploring the festival's water theme. Tickets and passes going fast!

This #UNWorldOceansDay we're sharing this collaborative poem written at Marine Studios in #Margate during April's #FirstFridayMargate. We urgently need to awaken new depths to support our oceans to support life. Visit a river or ocean near you, take time to connect and write!

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay!

But the news isn’t so happy when it comes to our planet. Ecosystems are at risk around the world.

The good news is that everyone can part of #GenerationRestoration and make a difference today & every day: https://t.co/7G9J6TG5K9

Sad to share this. An awful reminder of the domino effect of biodiversity loss.
