Strength to you @JTaylorTrash. Hope you feel better soon and looking forward to welcoming you back to Exeter #QuayWords in the Autumn @LitWorks
I’m very sorry to announce that we decided to postpone this eve’s event due to illness. Thanks so much to Helen and @LitWorks for taking the time to bring me tests and meds, and reassure me that it’s ok not to be able to perform. Very very grateful 🙏

It's great to have an opening here @LitWorks for someone early in their career. Also excellent that our Programme Assistant will act up to cover maternity leave. And, best of all, brilliant that our Programme Manager is having a baby! (Love babies almost as much as books.)
Here's an opportunity for someone to enter the world of writer development and creative programming of literature for a year, as part of our small, friendly team - we're hiring a Programme Assistant (Maternity cover, 0.8 FTE, 12-month contract). https://t.co/prCQuHagwc

Yesterday, terrible weather and broken trains, but we made it to #DutchFlowers @theboxplymouth. Featuring a new poem commissioned by @LitWorks from the amazing @pascalepoet. The exhibition looks also at empire, trade, local growing in the Tamar Valley. Thoughtful and beautiful.

Lent two £ coins to @LitWorks for a promise of a poem and a play from the launch of @PlymArtVending. A fun, inspired idea @PlymCultureUK @DownStageWrite1 Can't wait to read them...
Great to see the @PlymArtVending in action at this morning's launch. It's a source of unique poetry and plays, each one bundled with a handsome enamel pin badge, at £1 a pop. Get down to @drakecircusplym with all your loose change! 🪙🪙🪙 @PlymCultureUK @DownStageWrite1
