One of the reasons growing plants is equal parts magic and heartache is precisely the fact that you are not able to control everything.

Whether it works or not is not entirely up to you and it forces you to recognise that you are just one part of a wider network of things we collectively call nature.

[Dr Jo Clement @_dodo]

I'll never get tired of saying I'll be reading in Reading! See you @TheMERL for poems, open archives, a decent pot of tea, and a proper good natter.

I won't hook my mood to clouds
Instead I'll catch their drift
I won't shame the sky by blaming rain
In most of the world it’s a gift.

We Worked

In the grit and gunshot-noise of the stamping press,

with glowing orange metal in sweat factories.
We worked six a.m. shifts on bus routes,
in grey slush and slippery snow. We worked

with pride, ironing our starched uniforms.

A real joy to read last night at Torriano Meeting House in London, in support of my new @Carcanet collection Come Here to This Gate and alongside Dino Mahoney. 12 readings in 7 weeks, all over the country, and I’ve had a great time.
