I've extended the deadline & adjusted the wording on this scholarship after queries from prospective students. Please encourage students interested in a funded PhD on poetry in either 18c/Romantic and/or settler colonialism & Indigenous sovereignty to get in touch! www.wgtn.ac.nz/scholarships...

Really excited to be talking with @danielwilson.bsky.social and @fedenanni.bsky.social about collaboration at this event!

I replaced my teenage Leaves of Grass, which had its pages falling out, last week. This new one, that Peter Riley has with OWC, already looks well used. I can't go anywhere without it. 'WORD over all, beautiful as the sky!'
