@ABRACKENBURY I love this song in the garden … sounds plodding, dogged almost. No frills - maybe it has other flightier numbers?

@LauraCummingArt @ObsNewReview @sarah_donaldson a miracle

@MichaelRosenYes ‘Cheers a bit!’ was my dad’s signing off goodbye phrase. Always jaunty, gleaned from a Midlands adopted accent and adapted from ‘tara-a-bit’.
I can hear him saying it now.

@RobGMacfarlane @JohnnyFlynnHQ Well I heard this music the other day and thought for the first time it might be right for my funeral … Sleep by Richard Whittaker. I thought it was Taverner at first. Beautiful.

@sarahwedderburn Well done - favourite poet, WS - that way he talks to us.

@MattHaighPoetry Very resonant for me, your post. A glut. It’s also the process of scrolling - I don’t think our brains are used to the vertical cascade of image after image, word after word. Trying to slow down to read/absorb less, better.
