So glad to have got to Stody Lodge Gardens on the last public open day of the year. Highlights included bracket fungus on a gnarly old tree, walking through shady and ferny woods, seeing dragonflies and lily pads in the Azalea Water Garden, and delphiniums abuzz with bees. 🪻🐝💜

Gnarly old tree with bracket fungus attached. Lily pond and overhanging azaleas (dark green foliage, large pink flowers).Mid-distant tree seen through gap in shrubs, dappled sunshine on ground, lots of pink flora and green foliage. Bee on dark purple delphinium.

From Sarah Doyle's #ekphrastic poem, 'The Bacchanal of the Andrians': 'Ribald, lathered, blotto-hearted, bladdered, adrenalin-thrilled. Old habits of abstinence, cast aside, for insatiable infractions.' afterpoetry.com/poem/may-01...

Happy World Poetry Day 🌍 To celebrate, we're giving away FREE access to our digital archive of The Poetry Review, so everyone can read some of the finest in modern poetry from round the globe. Until noon (GMT) on Thursday 26th March, you can access the archive at the link in our bio.

A blue square with text along the top reading 'Happy World Poetry Day! 21st March 2026'. Beneath the text is a white star with lots of points, surrounded by a circle of yellow dashes. In the middle of this is a photo of a hand holding up a microphone. Along the bottom of the square is text which reads 'Celebrating the power of poetry to transform, connect, and inspire'.A dark purple square with an extract from a poem in white text. The extract reads: i think just now you must be walking perhaps down chapel turning briefly right perhaps on crown sharpening when the song you love spills generous from a passing car unspools into the night you might be walking now. Beneath the text is an illustration of a series of musical notes. The text at the bottom of the image reads 'from 'Night' by Safia Elhillo, The Poetry Review, Autumn 2018.A green square with the following poem in black text: 'An empress tree grew in Yukyang, enduring years of frigid shade. Fortunately, it met a master craftsman who cut it for a black harp. When the harp was played, few understood the songs. Finally, the old music wisped away in smoke.' In the bottom right hand corner is a drawing of a harp in a tree. Next to this is text which reads ‘Remnants, Part I’ by Nansŏrhŏn, translated by Ian Haight and T’ae-yong Hŏ, The Poetry Review, Autumn 2017'.A read square with white text along the top reading 'from ‘[’You’re still alive. You’re the very bottom...’]’ by Vasyl Stus translated by Alan Zhukovski'. Beneath this is an extract from the poem: Your soul’s about to rush away - a horse who tore his tether. Please tell me: are you still alive? Oh, really? Another flash of fire? The view around has gotten clearer, so much clearer now. You’re dazzled by the light. Beneath this is a simple illustration of a horse leaping, followed by the text 'The Poetry Review, Winter 2022'.

Wonderful to see the outpouring of love and respect for @catherineredford.bsky.social at the Zoom launch of 'The Way the Water Held Me'. I was so moved by the tenderness and humanity of these poems, the imaginative yet deeply authentic articulation of bereavement. theemmapress.com/shop/poetry/...
