Chris's Two-Way Poetry Podcast is a brilliant series. Poets including Fay Musselwhite, Rob Hindle, Pete Green and others illuminating their own practice and those of others. This episode (Pt 1 of 2), with Brian Lewis & Chris discussing the links between their own work, is amazing.

Rolling out the sound condenses over ice,
sea smoke trails the boat, twists of light letter the air,
a language holding low around the edges of the world,
empty and endless for the mind to lodge at zero.

I fretted my keys and looked back at the city –
skylights angled to catch wafers of falling snow.

Union calls for inquiry into Sheffield Hallam University finances
Sheffield Hallam University has invested in a new city centre campus and facilities in London.
Our branch report into SHU's finances calls for a public enquiry into decision making at the university. There may be sector-wide challenges but at SHU one of the issues is governance. The report is here: ucuhallam.org

Chimney at Didcot Power Station, photographed by Martyn J Bull.
"I thought of how, as a child, I’d used pylons to calculate distance & time, and how they seemed to anchor space. I thought of how the turbines resisted this, how unmeasurable they seemed, in a nightscape with few visual referents."

The cover of 'Hemisphere' by Pete Green: a greyscale map of (half of) the northern hemisphere
Nothing is quite absolute and whether
you’re seeking or fleeing, all roads lead
home. Move far enough in one direction,
landfall always rolls around again like
dawn.
