@lippice@BBCTees@shakkmusic Thanks for this Jimmy.
My primary school outside Fev did all sorts of arts we took for granted..Here's a baby Jesus with clay and firing from Snydale Brickworks and the EWO kiddy catcher did lessons in oil painting , recent visit to Van Gogh had pictures we had..
@JennyMitchellGo Hi Jenny, we met at Verve in Brum.
I read at an event in Much Wenlock last night; no people of colour but reflects demographicI went Brum last week , organised around the university post graduate course,
hosted by poets of colour- felt a bit uneasy because of class distance..
@JamieRHale Angela t carr WordPress account .
Robin Houghton does a similar diary usually a few days into a new month..both are free but I often send em the price of a cuppa..
Hope this us useful
Steve
Congrats to all auditionees who got places in @iambapoet between 2023 and 2025 – including the 14 poets who made the reserves list!
To answer a common question: your audition poem is in no way tied up by your acceptance of your place. So go ahead and submit it wherever you like!
@emergencypoet@MissLizBerry@HerculesEdtns I was glad I'd kept your notes from a workshop to show the editing process around Princes End..(where great grand dad Abraham Poole was born in 1859)

SHOPPING LIST
after the funeral
your fingerprint lives on
in a jar of Pond's Cold Cream
a shopping list
dug out of a drawer
now a precious artifact
I an emotional archaeologist
unearthing a smile
buried in the past
I call your mobile
just to hear you say
you are not there
