My mother, Susan Wordsworth Andrew, died suddenly but peacefully on 23rd July. From the Wordsworth 250 archive, here she is reading "After-Thought" from the River Duddon sonnets.

It's #WorldPoetryDay so here's some daffodils and some news https://t.co/E1fOYrO1h4

What better way to celebrate #WorldPoetryDay than by listening again to @stephenfry reading 'The World is Too Much With Us'. #poetry #wordsworth. But some more poetry celebrations to come on this day.

Possibly the most intriguing contribution to @poetry250 was @WilliamHMacy's amazing rendition of this Lucy Poem. On #WorldPoetryDay we re-release this for people's listening pleasure!
