So pleased to see ‘Listening Moon’, my poem about @jodrellbank, feature in @Gutter_Magazine 25 and in such auspicious company - Linen from @colinjherd …wee Gutter poem No.3… as exciting as opening a gate-fold album!

@ThatKerryHudson @theipaper That’s a great article, Kerry.

We @ScottishPEN are also deeply saddened by the loss of our friend and colleague, Leela Soma.

Today, we remember her friendship, kindness and contribution to Scotland's literary world, not least the foundation of the @KavyaPrize – our thoughts go out to her family and friends.

@louisewelsh00 @zoestrachan Happy Christmas to you both and sorry for disappearing off into the crowd at the ceremony on the 9th! Must have been like trying to herd cats!

[Davie Hunter @davidweirhunter]

I want to take this opportunity to thank the amazing @jlwpoetry, for her help in the time leading up to and during my own @UofGWriting adventure, helping to prepare me to have a voice, a view and a vision. I would recommend JL’s writing support to anyone, everyone!

[Davie Hunter @davidweirhunter]

@LancasterGothic You are very welcome!

MLitt Memento’s ready for graduation next week.

[Davie Hunter @davidweirhunter]

So this happened.
Led by a mace stretching back centuries, we walked into the future. Glasgow writers ⁦@UofGWriting⁩ are leaders in our field — one fertile enough to grow all our dreams. Thanks to ⁦@cjpearce⁩ for such an incredibly inspiring speech today.

[Davie Hunter @davidweirhunter]

@alison_coyle Sure, give me a shout nearer the time. 🙏

[Davie Hunter @davidweirhunter]

@alison_coyle Yes! I’ve been doing a bit of pottery for a wee while. Did a load for my MLItt workshop buddies, graduating this yr.

An inspiring little ramble in the Peak District this morning, enough to blow the cobwebs away.

This lovely thing arrived from the other side of the world on my birthday no less, and it’s such good counsel. I hope I inhabit my country, it’s landscape, when I write about it. Thank you @valmcdermid and @CissOtago!

[Liam McIlvanney @LiamMcIlvanney]

If u want to purchase @valmcdermid’s short account of Scottish crime fiction, ‘I Now Describe My Country As If to Strangers’ (the 1st in a series of 10 @CissOtago pamphlets) for the very reasonable sum of $25 (incl p&p), you can do so via this order form… https://t.co/InLzcTQIxe
