Today is the penultimate day of #StressAwarenessMonth Overlooked and underestimated, stress has a lot to answer for. Think it's worth sharing my own experience https://t.co/gsEG1cMw6a

@FinancialTimes A friend of mine asked me to make a poem on 'the colour yellow'. I'm no poet, so I decided on the 'found poetry' technique, using this article. It's no masterpiece but thought it might be a fun response to share. (I edited 'is' out the last stanza but it's already posted!)

@SallyEaston @BristolMH @haulpawkins @bristol247 @HWBristol "Being out of work for the first time ever, because of Covid, Monday’s had started to feel very hard and lonely. Then Poem Brut turned up. I felt accepted and encouraged. I realised that I can unlearn and that there are undiscovered routes I can take." Testimonial by Kate
