Gabriel García Márquez was born on this day in 1927. He sadly passed in 2014.
If you haven't read his wonderful novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, we recommend you fix that right now!
Shoutout to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who would have been 216 today. Her Romantic poetry rivalled the works of peers such as Wordsworth and Tennyson and has influenced many modern day writers.
Plenty of poets have turned to the beautiful game for lyrical inspiration, and today it's Rosie Driffill's turn to explore the sensory thrill of a cup game in her poem 'We'.

We're here again with another literary birthday. Today it's John Steinbeck's turn, with one of our favourite quotes:
"The story goes on and leaves the writer behind, for no story is ever done."
He would have been 120 today, and his words are as true as ever.
Recognise this chap? That's Victor Hugo, who would have been celebrating his 220th birthday today. Who else will be watching Les Misérables this evening?
Just finished reading my copy of the latest York Journal. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Available to buy now from @TheYorkJournal and featuring a piece by me, if you're interested.
My sequence poem, ‘The Interviews’, features among very fine company in Issue #2 of @TheYorkJournal.
Many thanks to @AStewartWriter and @LukeeD for accepting and presenting it so handsomely.
Sneak peek below. Order here to read on: https://t.co/ajAvB9f6IC
