Lecturer in Literature and Place. Nuclear Power and Utopianism. Probably not here anymore

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

Decided to pair books and albums from the same year and place on shelf (D). Today is Don Delillo’s Mao II and Dinosaur Jr’s much-maligned Green Mind. 1991 is pretty much a vintage year for me.

*The year is 1986. You’re plugging away at your poems, sending them to editors, magazines, seeking even the tiniest crumb of feedback. You settle in to read RS Thomas’s latest collection (to whom you have periodically sent drafts, never hearing back)…

[David Cooper @DrDavidCooper]

It’s arrived! It’s great to be able to hold a copy of ‘The Routledge Handbook of Literary Geographies’ I’ve edited with Neal Alexander. An enormous thank you to the 41 contributors & the editorial team @RoutledgeLit for making it happen.

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

It’s here! Happy and proud to have contributed a chapter on utopian geographies to this excellent volume. Thanks to the patience and advice of editors Neal Alexander and @DrDavidCooper. Excited to read the rest (nice cover too)!

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

I would have loved to be at #AWWE24 this year. Originally didn’t book because we’re expecting a little one to arrive any second now. Then I broke my foot playing football last night (so wouldn’t have made it anyway). It’s such a brilliant event, hopefully next year I’ll be back!

@SamParryWSA Ardderchog! Genuinely chuffed for you Sam

@Gerontius1 @RSThomaspoet Political jibe or innocent misspeaking?

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

RS Thomas, in a letter to Raymond Garlick, complimenting Ted Hughes in his own inimitable way

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

@daniel_westover @SarahM0rse As a writer known for good put-downs, I’m sure TS would appreciate RS’s efforts here

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

@jonnywilliams It’s from a published collection of letters from RS to Garlick. A very interesting insight into RS, though this comment about Hughes comes completely out of nowhere!
Did you ever chat to him much? He seems to be a very different character beyond poetry.

@AdrianBennion @FootballCliches Not sure if @FootballCliches have covered automated text commentary before

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

@SamParryWSA I was astounded at what had already been demolished! Makes work like this even more essential in any effort to save what’s left

[Dan Douglas @dandouglas]

Hemingway was asked to come up with a six-word story to encapsulate the economic mismanagement of the UK

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

@AliceVernon10 I think Stephen K is flirting with her!

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

This semester I had the chance to redesign part of a theory module, based on my own interests. It's so gratifying to see students' work on Jan Morris, Le Guin, Raymond Williams, and utopianism. I've written on them all before and I'm still learning loads from their essays!

A statement from our Board 👇

@Alys_Rogers17 @cardiffuni @JamesPantyfed That’s great news Alys! Da iawn i ti

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

@Alys_Rogers17 @DrDavidCooper I think I’ve seen Wheatley already mentioned, but if you want something a bit different then Sightseers is deeply weird (but I always thought it would be fun to teach!)

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

If you haven’t seen this campaign yet, please take a look. The continued existence of our magazines in spite of continued cuts to funding is miraculous, but it can’t continue like this forever. We would all be diminished by their absence #SaveWelshMagazines

[Mike Parker @mikeparkerwales]

Update on the #SaveWelshMagazines campaign...time is very short, so please spread the word and post messages of solidarity to @CreativeWales @Books_Wales @WGCulture.

[Jamie Harris @coruthers]

@DrDavidCooper Definitely!
