I've just written to all the teachers registered for the @StephenSpender Prize. 190 now & counting! Can we get it up to 200 by the weekend? Poetry translation is particularly transformative in #English, #MFL & #EAL contexts @Team_English1 #mfltwitterati @EAL_naldic @ALL4language

[Stephen Spender Trust @StephenSpender]

Today we're sharing 2020 Open Category winner Stuart Lyon's winning entry: Wild West Cambridge at Dusk by Xu Zhimo, from Mandarin Chinese to English. This fantastic translation is full of brilliant lines - which is your favourite? #SSTPoetryPrize #poetry #poetrycommunity #EAL

So many excellent poems by Jenny King in her 2021 @Carcanet collection, ‘Moving Day’: highly recommended (& her introduction video below, too). This one brings some comfort & relief this evening.

[Paul Stephenson @stephenson_pj]

Love this anagram poem by @bransfield_ben from his debut @poetrybusiness pamphlet ´Judder Men’, how it creates its own world and demands several reads, how the reader makes the rest of the story

[Ben Bransfield @bransfield_ben]

@stephenson_pj @poetrybusiness Thank you, Paul!

[Ben Bransfield @bransfield_ben]

I'm looking forward to sharing my ideas on English teaching and diversity.

Food for thought: in Wales, many learners’ main encounter with a Black character in a novel is Crooks in Of Mice & Men. Crooks is repeatedly called the n-word and is threatened with being lynched.

Come listen! Welcome! 😃
