Beyond thrilled that His Majesty's Gold Award for poetry excellence has been awarded to Mimi Khalvati. In addition to an extraordinary body of writing, I cannot think of anyone who has done more to nurture and shape British poetry, especially poets of colour.
What an amazing start to publication day 🎉🎉🎉 it was such a pleasure to talk to the wonderful @clotimms on what has become the most beautiful rite of passage for a debut author!!

WOW, this amazing! I love @Booktimemag Thank you so much!

Poets are still routinely dismissed as having their heads in the clouds, but I think it takes real power to withstand everyday stresses and big life challenges AND still sit down to write from the Heart. Here's to all of us who continue to do so. 🦋📚💚💃🏾
Our 2024 events begin next week! Here's what we've got coming up: lrb.me/events
Here's a list of events I'll be doing in January and February to launch Rapture's Road into the world. I'll put the links below, and they're also here: seanehewitt.com/readings Would be great to see at one of them:
@PoetrySociety ‘Monster’ by @DzifaBenson from @BloodaxeBooks in Oct is 🔥, ‘The Island in the Sound’ by @NiallCPoetry also Bloodaxe, ‘Rapture’s Road’ by @seanehewitt, ‘The Jaguar’ by Sarah Holland-Batt, loads more!
Hampshire based poets, this looks good. A £4000 fee over a two year tenure and lots of opportunities to connect and engage...I'd apply for it myself if I was local! winchesterpoetryfestival.org/hampshire-poet….)

RIP, dear Helen Vendler. I’ll never forget her sitting me down and plotting a way for me to go study with her. Or the delight of hearing her rooster-watch crow — say, in the midst of her reading Stevens. Then a giggle, as if the rooster had been conjured by the words themselves.

Just finished Baby Reindeer. Don't want to reduce the overt issues it tackles, or the specific things Gadd suffered, but I also took it as an allegory for the ethical and emotional comprises - the struggle - it takes to make a creative career in London as a working class outsider

Poetry-lovers, are there poems you loved as a teenager that you stand back from now? For me, it's 'Deceptions' by Larkin. I always knew it was dodgy but is the way he buries the victim twice, then offers sympathy to the perpetrator skilful but creepy?
Really hoping for peace…no free time these many months, but 1st thing I go in search of wild flowers for our kitchen. Tomorrow I’m leading a masterclass in ekphrasis, then final-ish proof of novel, & everyday reading longlist for Wales Book of the Year – busiest spring ever
That’s good to hear. But do you stay with pals when you go back or in hotels? I think it’s not just them going - it’s also the house I grew up in. I imagine a lot of people feel the same . Maybe some return to their old street (if it is still there !) and others avoid it ….
.@JackieKayPoet one more thing. In yr Obs. interview you say your new book is about belonging to a place after your parents have gone. I share that experience but have found that friends remaining in B'bay help nurture my roots so I don't feel like a tourist in my own town.

Bern is beautiful. Spending time here has refreshed my mind. Looking at those mountains is like a mental palate cleanser. I can feel truly new work / ideas emerging for the first time since the pandemic. Such a great place to think.
But do you like the dungarees tho?!
