Yet again, the students entering the Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators have blown me away with their inventiveness – the fun they’ve had playing around with the language just radiates off the page :-) @TranslationExch

Oh qué triste noticia. Another sad day for intercultural exchange in the UK. I’m so proud and grateful to have played a small part in this project – the creativity and atmosphere in the theatre was phenomenal. Un gran aplauso por todo lo que habéis hecho.

[CERVANTES THEATRE @CervantesTheatr]

Se apagan las luces del Cervantes Theatre de Londres, de un espacio de diálogo, multicultural, bilingüe, una plataforma para nuestros dramaturgos y dramaturgas, un escenario para las letras españolas y latinoamericanas en Reino Unido.

Gracias por todo,

@bridgetwriting Hey, loved your sonnet sequence on Saturday! Stand outs for me were the one about the women and the one about trader trades 🤩

Este es un acontecimiento. I cannot wait to get my hands on one of these marvels. Poetry in physical form. Poetry smuggled into the classroom…

En una paciente cámara lenta que duró más de 14 años, les cuento con felicidad que acaba de salir de la imprenta y mis manos mi libro de poesía “Torpedos”. Es una historia larga, por eso les dejo un breve clip que la resume y algunos datos más abajo por si se animan a tantearlo

@NewWritingNorth @Tyneside_Irish Hmm, I think we might be interested in those free tickets, right @Ruth_etta?

Not the greatest picture in the world but still… #SycamoreGap from the north on a very wintry day.

We are devastated to hear of the death of Victoria Amelina, Ukrainian poet and friend to SST.

Our thoughts are with Victoria's family and friends.

For #fathersday, me and my sisters joined @solentmatters. It’s a small group of very dedicated volunteers (my dad incl.) but they struggle to get donations/membership. Please consider signing up (or volunteering as their social media rep)! #solent https://t.co/EAxZIywiKN

I ran a Ukrainian workshop for @StephenSpender yesterday and can thoroughly recommend having a go at translating the poem by Viktoria Amelina – a beautiful poem for kids about home and remembering. And yes, anyone can have a go! #SSTPoetryPrize #UkrainianSpotlight
