Darkly funny: signs appearing across central London, protesting Starmer’s use of anti-terror laws against peaceful pro-Palestine protesters.

This always reminds me of Wallace Stevens' statement that "A poem is a meteor" in 'Adagia', similarly existing by virtue of its self-annihilation.

This is wonderful. You may not agree with Brendel's musical opinions, but it's a lovely picture of an old man obsessed with his art but open to still learning new things

Geoffrey Hill once invited Michael Longley over to read and when Michael phoned Edna after, Geoffrey asked to speak to her. "Did you catch the BBC radio broadcast of 'The Mystery of the Charity of Charles Peguy' Edna?" "Sorry Geoffrey; I was watching 'Boys from the Blackstuff'"

@melpryorpoetry.bsky.social I loved your recent posting of Sam’s poem ‘A Redbreast Flew..’ from ‘New Light’ (2010) - which is such a cracking volume. Do you know what happened to him, or where he is now?

Today my spirit animal is heron-going-Christmas-shopping, inspired by Paul Farley…

The Heron
PAUL FARLEY
One of the most begrudging avian take-offs is the heron's fucking hell, all right, all right, I'll go to the garage for your flaming fags cranky departure, though once they're up their flight can be extravagant. I watched one big spender climb the thermal staircase, a calorific waterspout of frogs and sticklebacks, the undercarriage down and trailing. Seen from antiquity
you gain the Icarus thing; seen from my childhood that cursing man sets out for Superkings, though the heron cares for neither as it struggles into its wings then soars sunwards and throws its huge overcoat across the earth.
