I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I still have so much John Burnside to read. But you can't rush the poems.
This lovely piece by Kathleen Jamie touches on aspects of his writing that make it so wonderful.

The late poet, novelist and New Statesman columnist was equally attuned to the natural world and what lies beyond it.

Maura Dooley visited Chris Wood's Grimm show at Scarborough Art Gallery for which I have written a series of Mortuary Rhymes, as opposed to nursery rhymes, in keeping with the Grimms' tone. She posted this catalogue last page, a suggestion why Yorkshire people are natural matches for such a project.
