I am so sad to hear of Gboyega Odubanjo's death. I admired his 'Aunty Uncle Poems', and his thoughts in this recent discussion with Don Paterson in @poetryreview . All sympathies to his family and friends.

I steward at the festival, and what a treat to visit the poetry tent on Saturday. Loved these sets! Hearing @JTaylorTrash read 'C+nto' a particular highlight. Thank you all! @GlastonburyPoet @GriotGabriel @katefoxwriter @lukewrightpoet @IonaLeepoetry
