Thank you for listening Gee; a new literary meditation will go out soon. We are trying to offer short meditations for writers and readers wanting to experience an immersive relationship with words, images, pictures & sound. Lyrical rhythm to help the flow.

An absolute delight to speak to @mcashmanCBE on Monday when he visited @stafford_hmp for the launch of our fabulous EDI hub @AndyTDEJ Michael and I got distracted with talk of Emergency Shakespeare which is 'such stuff as dreams are made on' @bard_un @BordersAlliance

@SallyBayley1 @RowanPelling @johnmitchinson @char_stroud Oh, yes: Mrs. Robinson made me cry, too

I hope you enjoy my reading list...I can't help but play the teacher! Virginia Woolf's diaries taught me voice as did Dodie Smith's "I Capture the Castle" and the letters of DH Lawrence - what personality! in the end when you read what you want is to meet with a personality....

[Elizabeth Lowry @MElizabethLowry]

Really looking forward to chatting to the marvellous @SallyBayley1 and Joanna Kavenna @blackwelloxford about books, books, books - join us on 5 September, it’s free! #amreading

Thank you for listening, Chris, and for being so generous.

I cannot recommend this more highly - I was transported and delighted from the first page. Utterly beautiful writing for anyone who finds the life of the imagination is truer than reality. @SallyBayley1 is an inspiration.

"We sleep and we don't know where we go, only that we shuttle back and forth across a dark line. Mary went with her smile and it was bright as the star of Bethlehem." (THE GREEN LADY); a story of lives led through the light of the imagination: foster mothers ⁦@samatlounge⁩
