The Falkirk wheel in Scotland is the world's first and only rotating boat lift: it links the Forth and Clyde Canal to the Union Canal.

Staircase, built between 1616 and 1635, at The Queen's House, Greenwich by Inigo Jones.
The building, was commissioned by Queen Anne of Denmark in 1616. These are the first 'cantilevered' [centrally unsupported] stairs in England, copying a Venetian model.

My goodness, John Burnside was a writer. And a lovely man in person too, the one occasion I met him. This piece from a very old @LRB has stayed with me. https://t.co/oBEBU4GTib “Much of the time, the dead are with us…”

'here, on the brink/ of elsewhere, gazing out across the land/ as if a better world was still to come.'

So true: I’ve judged comps & sent to comps, judged prizes & sent, am rarely longlisted. Once in a blue moon I win. You just keep developing, trying, a poem sent dozens of times not longlisted will place. Judges have different tastes, poems are living things with ups & downs

❛ I write because I’m trying to work something out. For myself. I don’t have any answers, but I am ready to speculate.

We're very sorry to hear about the passing of poet and writer John Burnside. Here's one of his wonderful poems, 'Late Show'.

My favourite church memorial, in St Mary’s, Bury St Edmund’s. To a printer. “Like a worn-out type he is returned to the Founder, in the hopes of being recast in a better and more perfect Mould…”

A tram ride through Rochdale, England, in 1900. There has been such and incredible change in the pace of life since the Victorian era.
