I’ve been dipping into the essays of Leslie Jamison in the past few days, particularly enjoying ‘Daughter of a Ghost’ about her experience of being a stepmother. I love her honesty, and her resistance to simplified stories, showing instead the messy complicated reality of living. Beautiful writing too.

A whole new teaching semester is about to begin! The Open University have offered me a job teaching on their creative writing program, which starts in a couple of weeks.

This beautiful tattooed lemon was the starting point for my blog post this week ‘things you have lost’. And thank you to @eliluciitattoos for providing the beauty. Link in bio.

The words were bubbling up early this morning so I got up at dawn to write the first draft of this week’s blog post and then went on a walk. Found this lovely little wood only a couple of minutes from my house. A great way to start the day.

I’ve just finished Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature, his diaries that cover a few years before he died of AIDS. What a wonderfully talented artist, writer and film-maker, a man who was both an anarchist and old-school traditionalist. Such a loss, but he left behind a wealth of creative energy that expressed his love for life.

It’s that time of year again, back in beautiful Bath for my first in-person faculty meeting @studyabroadbath in two years. So looking forward to seeing the other tutors and meeting the new students!
