@Gallowaygrouse @PippaMarland @PenandPlough Thanks Patrick. Enjoyed your interview as well.

All farms have characters and stories behind them. This is a snapshot of ours, starring my late grandad. Thanks to @PippaMarland @PenandPlough for the invitation to write this and @Gallowaygrouse for the wise words that prompted some of these reflections.

@cherylmoskowitz @IGalleymore @YvonneReddick @MayaChowdhry @magmapoetry @LighthousePoole @PerdieBargh @tpcolegate @Artfulscribeuk @waitingfordeer Yes. Do. The concert hall is something.

[Jack Thacker @Jack_Thacker]

Thank you @YvonneReddick, @MayaChowdhry and @cherylmoskowitz for including a couple of my poems in the Anthropocene edition of @magmapoetry, alongside some stunning pieces of writing by some of my favourite poets. This little shell of mine was inspired by @LighthousePoole.

[Jack Thacker @Jack_Thacker]

Really pleased to have four poems in this eco-georgic edition of Ecozon@, edited by the wonderful @PippaMarland, Sue Edney and Philipp Erchinger. Thanks also to Damiano Benvegnù. Can't wait to read the rest of this timely and wide-ranging issue!

[Pippa Marland @PippaMarland]

I forgot to tweet about this when it launched, but I'm really pleased to have a poem in @interimpoetics in an issue which celebrates Alice Oswald and includes many other writers I admire. Thanks to @harbourbirds and @LighthousePoole for prompting this one: https://t.co/hDxohJp1i1

@Sweetburlingame It took losing everything to make Djokovic human. At the end of the day it was the right result. You've got to love Medvedev's swagger.

[Jack Thacker @Jack_Thacker]

@RobGMacfarlane @tweetbytheriver Thanks Rob. I appreciate it. His roots continue to grow.

[Jack Thacker @Jack_Thacker]

Here's my elegy for the evergreen Roger Deakin, who died 15 years ago today. Thanks to @tweetbytheriver for taking it and @RobGMacfarlane for giving it his blessing - https://t.co/QFQzkxeH1z

@CarrieRSmith @LivUniPress Congratulations Carrie! I'm really looking forward to reading that chapter on Moorton Diary!

I'm not much of a swimmer, so it was Wildwood and Notes that seeded this poem.
