             Enjoying tracking down poems for the online workshop I'm leading on Wednesday for the @poetrybusiness. And entertaining to find a reference to Strawberry Alarm Clock in one of the poems, I'd completely forgotten about them.  https://t.co/4oxYCFuYd9

             I heard from Geoff a few weeks ago and he mentioned that Broken Sleep were going to publish his Collected Poems. I really hope it goes ahead; his poems deserve a massive audience.

             I was very sad to hear that Geoff Hattersley died this week. Geoff was a big influence when I started writing in the 1980s, because of his fabulous poems and his legendary magazine, The Wide Skirt. Getting published in TWS was hugely enouraging back then. I heard..cont'd below

             So sad to hear of the death of the marvellous poet and editor Geoff Hattersley. The Wide Skirt was a wonderful magazine and press and his poems found their way deep into the South Yorkshire soul and illuminated it for the world.

             Thanks @IMcMillan
          
           I’ve always liked this tragicomic poem by @cliffyates81 from his Selected Poems published by Smith/Doorstop @poetrybusiness. Fragility, hope, failure, pain all jostling for position.
