@Hungry_Romantic I run a creative writing group for motherless mothers--my little boy is 18 months old and my mum died 10 yrs ago. Take a look at https://t.co/Vt50rYkqVc and let me know if it's of any interest!

[Journal of West Indian Literature @jwilonline]

In her essay, Jen McDerra @jentle_editor discusses the exchange of letters that shaped the editorial decisions of the BBC radio programme #CaribbeanVoices, revealing the defining role also played by Gladys Lindo as the BBC literary representative of the programme in Jamaica🇯🇲

@TheLossProject1 Such a great project! Fully agree that writing can help you to work through grief whether or not you see yourself as 'creative'. I'm trying to set up something similar for women like me, mums who are mourning their mothers, and would love to connect with anyone interested.

[MothershipWriters @MothershipWrite]

2 years ago this week I ran the very first Mothership workshops at @StWerbsCC & @windcityfarm. A magical start. Now we’re at 130 sessions (half on Zoom - yes I miss the baby hugs, but being able to connect with mums all over the UK, and overseas, is GREAT) and I’ve loved them all

This is the kind of physics paper I can get on board with.... https://t.co/v4sB8zlvQF

Can students learn intercultural competence without leaving their home country? This paper argues that we can take forward what we've learned from teaching in glocal classrooms in a post-pandemic era. https://t.co/fcoXxGPrSQ #studyabroad

@EmyliaHall @4thEstateBooks Ooh exciting, I'll look out for it! The cover is a beaut.

[Bianca Leggett @leggetti]

@TheLearnerMum @themumpoempress Haha! I feel so validated! Wishing you some sleep very soon.

[Bianca Leggett @leggetti]

Just wrote my second poem for @themumpoempress feedback swap--this one is about the time I was so sleep deprived that I thought the breast pump was saying 'Prunella Prunella Prunella' (its name, obvs). Madness and genius go hand in hand right?

[Bianca Leggett @leggetti]

Love this guide which AIFS put together for their students to help them process the abrupt end to their time abroad due to the pandemic. Sensitively done, prize very much deserved! https://t.co/IK0kLIh3LS @aifsabroad

@mrslkilleen I support you in ignoring the ironing! Just read this lovely little poem, think you'll appreciate it.

[Bianca Leggett @leggetti]

Loving Night Feeds and Morning Songs, edited by @AnaBooks. This poem by Carole Bromley lifted my spirits this morning!

Investigations into grief and creative writing continue apace! Next stop: Mum's Jumper, 'a simple, heartfelt and ultimately uplifting book for anyone coping with loss' https://t.co/XFB6NTZ8ks

[Bianca Leggett @leggetti]

At risk of reading Maggie O'Farrell's I Am I Am I Am all in one go... Also the story of what a mess doctors made of the birth of her son, eesh. Helps me make sense of why she depicts birth in the C16th in Hamnett to be so rosy.
