We have something old and interesting to show you today. This is the Geneva Bible or Breeches Bible. It dates to 1607!

We are looking at a slightly beaten up and aged leather book witt broken hasps.

We are looking at the same leather bound book from the side showing the yellow, aged and worn pages. Remnants of two leather hasps and their fixings can still be seen.

“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting “Heil, Spode!” and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.” Bertie Wooster

So last year LIVES OF THE FEMALE POETS came out, my first collection in eight years, and I worked really hard on getting back into the poetry scene. Teaching three residential courses, two online, lots of one-off workshops, mentoring, reviewing regularly, writing a poetry substack… 1/3

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

@thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #PoemsAbout #Thriftstore Like @jenthorne.bsky.social I'm going with charity shop/jumble sale theme too for this:

Vintage

I used to keep tanners
in a crochet purse
my Nana snapped up
at the jumble in ‘63.

The very same day Kennedy was shot.
She swore.

With every night bus missed
we strode towards dawn.
Crises? What crises?
Tabloids were so much chip paper.

Now we are too old to make mistakes.
Lipstick kisses blot on Kleenex,
butterfly wings of Sherbet Vice
or Almost Nude.

We replay our youth in curated sound
headphone solace required as we fuck the truth
that the planet is stuffed
with bargains we struck long ago.

A massive amount of my working day today was spent trying to convince my computer that my printer was in the room with us. I feel like I’ve been conducting some sort of seance.
