Thank you @emergencypoet York store for stocking Light Year in your gorgeous shop 💕🍂😌
Thank you @FurlongTara! It’s been a memorable evening
Full house at @PrestonLib: Wembley poet, @csmithpoet read from 'Bycatch' on the nature of dementia, "the bycatch of a trawler... through their lives, torn up fragile habitats"; @jennywcreative from 'Letters Home', "of butterflies", of "never, never go back". Missed +Naomi Delap.

Put August 12 in your phone now. Genuinely.
Before sunrise, six planets spread across the sky. Afternoon, the eclipse. After dark, the Perseids Meteor shower.
Four events on one day, NASA says, and the new moon that same date keeps the sky dark enough to actually see the meteors.
You don't need a telescope for most of it. A field, a coat, and twenty minutes for your eyes to adjust.

There's been a lot of talk (most of it negative) about universities. To understand where we are and might be going, we need to know where we've been. That's why I wrote The University: a history in stone, silk, and blood, out now from @Harvard_Press hup.harvard.edu/books/978067…
Did a recording of poem ‘Field notes from the Guggenheim’ from Light Year @NineArchesPress youtube.com/shorts/qtOOilLv1…
