It truly is, magic. And even more magic to be part of this.
This photo sums up everything that is beautiful about being part of the Poetry Takeaway. With this lady’s permission a short story of what’s behind this photo is in our other socials Thanks to Mickey Lee for capturing this special moment and to Toby for his wonderful words.

For anyone who needs a poem today. Raymond Carver, Happiness. The one I can't stop looking, can't stop thinking about. "It's early in the morning, & they are doing this thing together [...] Such beauty that for a minute death and ambition, even love, doesn't enter into this."

She's forever my biggest cheerleader🧡 Some things I like; inspired by @lemnsissay & kindly shared @poetrycandle When the focus is on how terrible everything & everyone is, it was an act of resistance to notice & document those small, wonderful things. Like how joy, is full.

"What Shall We Make Here?" What a beautiful question to be guided by in your work. Truly inspiring work happening @Make_shiftAV Give this a read, I guarantee it'll leave you smiling, your mind whirring with possibilities. And hopefully, reminded of your creativity.
It's been a speedy 8 months since Creative Producer @RacheLocal started at Make/Shift. In this blog she reflects on the project and one of our most asked questions 'What's Make/Shift all about?' https://t.co/q4xlErhvt7

Do you know what’s really beautiful about today’s AD announcements? Both @mrdavebyrne and @annabelturpin have put generosity, integrity and collaboration at the heart of their work, and Twitter is blowing up with people they’ve helped celebrating their success with them 🥰

One of my favourite poets. Such amazing news. Click on this, and listen to the insanely good, Parkland Walk.
The news is out! Louise Gluck's overall winner of The Moth Poetry Prize 2022 is Laurie Bolger (@LaurieBolger) for her poem 'Parkland Walk'. Huge congratulations to Laurie – and massive thanks to each of the shortlisted poets for kindly joining us this evening to read their work.

@RacheLocal a little (or big) nod here to the maker in all of us. I think you'll also enjoy this (People's Plan) if you've not seen it yet. So good to re-connect and chat earlier on. Here's to all that making that's yet to come 🙏

What an incredible, vital thing to have been a part of. #ThePeoplesPlanForNature was crafted by people - just like me and you, for people. We are all born makers. We can all make change. This bold, fierce, important plan is made & in the world. And calls to you to join in.
Today sees the launch of the #PeoplesPlanforNature - a citizen-led vision for the future of nature in the UK that the team @NewCitProj has played an instrumental role in bringing about. 🧵 https://t.co/IIYhuF1PUf

Gosh, what an inspiring time that was #imaginationinfra
@amahra_ in particular, thank you for how you spoke about creativity and the world as a rehearsal room. And my mind will be holding onto: "I want to cultivate spaces that feel like my Grandads kitchen" for a long time.
