Late to post, but Poetry in Aldeburgh was a brilliant festival, bringing poetry, art and music together to consider the book, its survival under oppression, and its future. Bravo to everyone involved! Keats and the Sea - fab opener @juliamarybird.bsky.social & Mike Sims - included origami for all!

📚 It's August, which means the #SealeyChallenge is now underway! To help you on your journey to read a book every day this month, The Poetry Society has gotten in touch with poets we've recently worked with for some recommendations. (...)

Fiona Larkin recommends 'alphabet' by Inger Christensen. She says of the book: "Alphabet by Inger Christensen is a rhapsody for the natural world and an urgent call to protect it from human threats. Although those are of its time (the Cold War, and the legacy of the atomic bomb) her message and its urgency ring true even more strongly today."
