It’s #NationalPoetryDay. So why not buy a copy of my new book, which combines my own reportage from conflict zones with selected poems? If you thought war poetry was all by the Great War soldier-poets, think again. There are so many great women war poets from across the globe.
Delighted that @pbsnewshour featured my new book ‘I Brought the War with Me,’ Lindsey Hilsum shares poetry inspired by the front lines. https://t.co/HSU28gNooY
Today’s @ObsNewReview features an extract from my new book about war and the consolation of poetry - published by @ChattoBooks @vintagebooks on September 19th. ‘Those in power write the history; those who suffer write the songs’. https://t.co/SUCzKAE39I
@jack_goulder@gdnlongread I really enjoyed this article, which felt very balanced while still asking difficult questions. I wonder if you've thought about writing a book? I'm a literary agent and would love to chat if you want to email me on [email protected].
Grinning like a kid on his birthday at receiving my first copies of The Laws of Connection! Thanks so much to the team at @canongatebooks, and @PlittyC for having brought this into reality.
I can’t wait to share it with you all in the first week of June!
*some personal news* I am writing another book!
A joy to be back with the @MerkyBooks team who completely got my vision for this from the get-go. Can’t wait to share all these stories with you 🇳🇬🇬🇧❤️
After 10 wonderful years, we're ending @LitFriction in December. It's been a true joy to podcast with my dear friend and co-host @octaviabright_ for a decade, and I'm really going to miss it! Thank you to everyone who has helped make it happen, especially our incredible listeners
Minisode 45 is out - in which we return to the theme of friendship (ours & in general). We also make a pretty big announcement: after 10 wonderful years of LF, our Year in Review show this December will be our last. (1/2)
A COLD SPELL by Max Leonard is out today. It's a delightful, impeccably researched and fascinating history of ice. It also makes the perfect holiday gift. See Max's thread for a taster...
Yikes, my book A COLD SPELL: A HUMAN HISTORY is out in two days and it feels like I’ve barely talked about it yet!
I’m going to post a thread of pictures of some of my favourite bits.
Also, don’t forget I’ll be talking @StanfordsTravel on Weds 15 Nov..

Thrilled to see two of my wonderful authors, @sixteenthCgirl and @NicolaRollock, on the judging panel for the new and much needed Women's Prize for Non-Fiction.
What kind of reader are you? 📖
Are you voracious… speedy… detailed… or just plain greedy?
We are thrilled to introduce you to our 2024 #WomensPrize judges. Head over to our new look 👀 website and find out what kind of readers they are: https://t.co/3hap8WxzWq
Reading and interviewing @NaomiAKlein was a joy, and it gave me a new vocabulary for the moment we're living through. She had so many interesting things to say about doppelgangers, diagonalism, the art of storytelling, conspiracy, the state of the left... the list goes on.
Our episode with @NaomiAKlein is ready wherever you listen - we really loved talking to Naomi about Doppelganger, the allure & perils of mirror worlds, the wellness to far right pipeline, conspiracy theories & much more. Plus all the usual recs - enjoy! 💜
