After four months and thirty-seven chapters, each of them appearing a century to the day after the one it describes, Greeneland reachs its conclusion. Graham leaves Nottingham. The whole novel can now be read online (with an epilogue and bonus posts to come). davidbelbin.substack.com/p/thirty-seven

Delighted that my JSPS KAKENHI (Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research) proposal was successful! With three years of national funding secured, I’m excited to deepen Japan–UK research collaboration. Looking forward to being back in the UK soon, and deeply grateful to wonderful collaborators❤️

Attended my doctoral supervisor, Professor Takaharu Yamamoto's, final lecture yesterday. He mentioned my work several times as a continuation of his early research in poetry education! Honoured beyond words, and ready to carry the baton forward.

Presenting flowers and sharing a warm handshake.

The final lecture titled “Not the Last Final Lecture: Literacy Education Research as an Endless Journey.”

Digital found poetry with 10-year-olds today. They took to it instantly. The poems kept coming, even after they went home. Teachers later said they found it difficult. They seemed to feel more resistance to breaking the original meaning of the source text. An interesting contrast.

If by chance you do have some pounds to spare there's no #gift like a book, and there's no book like a surprise #book. Do consider giving to @booktrust.org.uk and get children (and their parents) reading 🎄📚

My thoughts are *thank you for making it possible for me to donate so easily to a cause that can really change lives*
