@girl_hermes Although, personally, I’d pair TM&MH with Fairy Tale by Alice Thomas Ellis.

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@girl_hermes That’s a perfect pairing!

Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

@kimmoorepoet @janerace Oh, niiiice. Frustratingly, the thesis is not yet at a publishable point - I’m happy to discuss details via dm/email though (back to that ‘risk’ factor again!).

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@kimmoorepoet @janerace Ha ha ha, I get called Eric a lot - so much so that I’ve considered using him as a second author/pseudonym!

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@kimmoorepoet @janerace As Jane said, gaining the publishers permission is the best option, which a poet who says yes may also need to have done. IME if the work you produce is not a risk to the reputation of anyone cited then it is usually seen as free marketing - just cover your back!

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@kimmoorepoet @janerace Okay, so that’s what I call a Demi Cento. As you’re using mixed fragments, if those you don’t have clearance for are <10% of the original & are fully referenced then there’s little to argue with. Code or foot/endnote each fragment clearly & keep evidence of attempts to contact.

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@kimmoorepoet Technically, freedom of expression is supposed to cancel out copyright if the source material is fully cited anyway, but IME it can still be tricksy. I work with existing material a lot and it is a legal minefield - but I’ve only once had a big problem, (so far!).

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@kimmoorepoet I’ve used cento in my PhD and for Ethics I had to get written permission from the copyight holder as well as do the obvious referencing of every single detail (formatting, punctuation, and words). Quotation is not sufficient because one is actively changing the composition.

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@kimmoorepoet For parody & pastiche, 10% of the original is a legal standard. In poetry, that only applies to the words… head/desk… but it does cover brief cento usage.

@AdamRutherford @marksandspencer Looks like the breakfast my cat brought me, but tastier.

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@katherineschof8 Or a female post doc to do all the admin, writing, grant applications, corrections, and probably the research as well.

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@katherineschof8 @DeborahSuggRyan Word.

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

@GarethLEvans1 @ifanmj LOL! Nailed it.

[Erin Kavanagh @geomythkavanagh]

The loss of #ChrisTilley strikes more than just the archaeological community, his voice permeated through many disciplines with precision, insight, and genuine integrity.
We are all lessened by his passing.

@joelycett Please do Welsh Water as well! I’m sure they and National Resource Wales would be delighted to assist. Sure of it. It’s not like they’ve ever illegally spilt sewage in Cardigan Bay…

[Joe Lycett @joelycett]

Joe Lycett vs Sewage is tonight at 9pm on @Channel4 starring @GaryLineker, @DeborahMeaden, @1phildaniels, @marksilcox and a special appearance from @jonsopel in my bathtub.
