What a day! To be in the Glasshouse Gateshead to hear poems turned into exquisite songs by fine musicians. What more could a poet wish for? Thank you, Noah Max, Jessica Conway, Yujie Zhang and organisers Louise Lansdown and Kirin Howat - and to Antoine Gourdon on whose beautiful viola Yujie played.

Like many, I find Christmas a bit tricky, so appreciate Ink Sweat & Tears' 'Twelve Days of Christmas' feature for (in the words of lovely @helenivory.bsky.social) its 'dark glitter'. Here's a favourite trio from the archives... inksweatandtears.co.uk/on-the-sixth...
