York-based poet writing for both adults and children
My Wikipedia page says I am a 'mental health advocate', so I thought I should write a blog about my experiences living with #anxiety and #OCD. Some of you might find it interesting: joshuaseigalpoet.blogspot.com/2026/08/livi... #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #mentalhealth
Two books that have come my way recently and which I'm looking forward to reading. At first glance,Sarah’s looks just the kind of book that will go down brilliantly with KS2 children, and I know that I'll be taking @carolebromley.bsky.social ’s book with me when I next visit York.
Thank you @brianmosespoet.bsky.social Let me know and I’ll show you round!

Very best wishes, Mark. I know you will have had a massive impact on every child you have taught - as you have on every child who reads your poetry x
Mark Bird@dreambeastpoems.bsky.social · 3w agoI’m retiring from #teaching tomorrow. This poem is for the transformational teachers I’ve worked with & every child I’ve had the honour of teaching - children who taught me every bit as much as I taught them. If, during my 35 years in class, I was even a little like Miss Poole, then I did my job. 💜
