@AMcMillanPoet An excellent touch!

@Carrie_Etter Also once did a reading where the only audience members were the other readers and half of them had left by the time the last poet got up. We'd all ploughed on because it was supposed to be recorded and made public later. (Un)fortunately the organiser forgot to press record.

@Carrie_Etter Once turned up at a reading only for several of the male audience members to be astonished I'd travelled un-chaperoned, then proceeded to make me feel very uncomfortable the whole time.

This was a brilliant way to spend a Wednesday evening. Highly recommend grabbing a place for Sunday's one if you can.

Mostly away from here atm, but wanted to say this was a brilliant workshop earlier this week. If you get the chance to sign up for the next one this Sunday, do.

@clairecollison1 12pt, depending on font 11.5. Bleeding into margins can work. Also adjusting the kerning if the lines are just over. Flip poem landscape if you have to but the physical act of turning the book for the reader can disrupt the flow (could be useful, like a volta in the book, or not)

Been staying not very far away from home for the last couple of days and making the most of some fantastic (if quite steep) walking and thinking time.

Tonight's event was something else. One of those discussions you just want to bottle up and savour. So much insight and generosity.

[Gay's The Word @gaystheword]

Word of the day is 'snollygoster' (19th century): an unprincipled person in office who is motivated by personal rather than public gain.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is 'maw-worm' (19th century): one who insists that they have done nothing wrong, despite evidence to the contrary.
