There’s a local mistle thrush who seems to get going just before 9am, making the start of the working day just a little more bearable...

Today’s poem is for all the parents back on the school run for the first time after the holidays. Dawn Watson’s collection ‘We Play Here’ is an incredible piece of work and highly recommended. Very excited to see new work from her in 2026. #poetry #poemoftheday

“I hope she’ll be a fool…” Beautiful Little Fools refuses that erasure. This isn’t a love letter to the Roaring Twenties. This is a reckoning. We gathered the voices Fitzgerald silenced. The dreamers who were left behind. Launching July 7 #Poetry #Gatsby #Literature #BeautifulLittleFools
Book cover of Beautiful Little Fools: Poetry of Glamour, Obsession, and the Gilded Age by The Broken Spine. The design features a stylized, Cubist-inspired illustration of a 1920s man and woman in formal attire—he in a tuxedo and fedora, she in a cloche hat and sharp bob—set against a fragmented cityscape with bold geometric shapes in black, white, crimson, and grey. The title appears in elegant serif font over a rich burgundy background, with The Broken Spine’s fountain pen logo in the corner.
