"Summer seemed scarcely to have begun and already autumn has stolen upon us" Fleeting moments of beauty, seen through the eyes of WW1 soldiers from both sides.

Tim Robinson on 'roots': 'there is much to be said for settled communities in their familiar old places, but as a human being I claim the freedom of the globe’s surface and accept responsibility for it.' https://t.co/q8bXjtArr3

Just emerged from a hour of negotiation with Sonia at the village post office. Call it an honourable draw. The books and box sets are in the post, prints and seeds follow shortly. Off to buy a box of chocolates for Sonia. Or perhaps she wants a ltd edition poetry book about WW1?

Lest we forget: a collective act of mass human sacrifice that left deep scars on the people & landscapes of Europe, trauma still reverberating down the generations. Still, what’s the worst that can happen when our leaders say it can’t be stopped?

Happy to announce that Turned Red Earth will appear at @wivenhoebooks in time for Armistice centenary. A ltd edition artist's book with sparse poetry and lush flower images, it reads as a poignant alternative act of remembrance for things we lost, failed to learn from #WW1

Turned Red Earth will be available at @redlionbooks to coincide with the Armistice centenary. Ltd edition artist's book with sparse poetry and lush flower images, it reads as a poignant alternative act of remembrance for what we lost, and what we failed to learn.

Delighted to say that Turned Red Earth will very soon be for sale @RedLionBooks. Big thanks to Jo and colleagues at Colchester's brave and beloved independent bookshop.

Books arrived from binders today, looking absolutely fantastic - I'm elated and exhausted! Kickstarter backers, expect your rewards from next Tuesday onwards (depending on location). Everyone else - what are you waiting for?! Copies still available at https://t.co/JZPMb4bs0l

This Friday, 6.30pm, Photographers' Gallery, London: we're discussing alternative acts of remembrance, the strange allure of war-torn landscapes and making art from archives. With @sarahAnneKogan and Alex Walton @IWM_Centenary https://t.co/oczY8fRlhv

Lucy hogged the @BBCSuffolk sofa for the last hour of the @lesleydolphin show today - catch up here https://t.co/bsoa4FdoCp

[turnedredearth @turnedredearth]

Thanks @lesleydolphin for a strangely soothing hour on the famous @BBCSuffolk sofa this afternoon! A total pleasure to talk to you.

[turnedredearth @turnedredearth]

Lucy's on the sofa with @lesleydolphin this afternoon on @BBCSuffolk between 3 and 4pm. Looking forward to chatting about our #WW1 poetry/art project, making a living as a writer, and the challenge of juggling books and babies (not literally, though that sounds hard too).

[turnedredearth @turnedredearth]

Look what just arrived - sooooo many postcards! Half for Kickstarter backers, half for @SPILL_Festival visitors. Anyone know where I can get some fulfillment elves/trained sorting monkeys?

[turnedredearth @turnedredearth]

Today our bookbinders are hard at work stitching 500 spines with a line of red thread. If you missed out on the Kickstarter last week, don't worry: we're now taking orders for the remaining copies and beautiful wildflower prints at https://t.co/kbGbkzdbey
