A masterful sail across the currents of Victorian periodical poetry with @alisonfchapman at the wheel 🌊⚓️ 🛳️ (see @poetry_digital) — very enthused by the argument to “unknow Victorian poetry” in order to make anew #RSVP23 #WolffLecture

@bronterre1 will be offering a curator's tour on August 3rd.
Lovely review of the Workers' Playtime exhibition currently on display @TheJohnRylands by @coopnews
The exhibition draws, in part, on research undertaken as part of this project and it runs until September 9th so you still have time to see it.

25 January 1893 the Blyth Poets and Pipers Club met at the Mason’s Arms Blyth to celebrate the birthday of Robert Burns.
Nip on over to our FaceBook page to find out more.
Happy #BurnsNight!

It's Burns Night, so in honour of Robert Burns, here are 5 Burns-related entries in our database. First up, an 'Auld Lang Syne' mining strike broadside: https://t.co/BNKDnWjpHb 1/6 @ByLeavesWeLive @glasgowburns @stirscotstudies
Almost all the poets we include were influenced by Burns. One of the most striking in his use of Scots is Duncan Campbell of Carlisle, a cotton-spinner and perhaps the earliest factory poet in the database: https://t.co/rMwRjtoKkt 5/6
