Gorgeous morning at Ipswich Library spent chatting with the talented emerging poets on the Bound / Unbound programme in partnership with @writerscentre.bsky.social. In their words, a week of ‘creative generosity’ ❤️ heezed up by them! (Reminded of www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/library/)

Two bits of info here. Chairing Wendy Cope tomorrow (but it’s sold out so if you’re not already coming then I’m afraid you’re not getting in!) Sadly Aladdin’s Cave on Magdalen is closing so this little stool just had to come home with me.

🧵If I could read Helen Garner all day every day, I’d regard it as a life well-lived. I revere all her writing, but it’s her non-fiction I return to most and, to distil it further, for me it’s her diaries that show her to be the absolute killer writer that she is. 1/4
