I just took part in The Big Plastic Count, as we’re still producing far too much plastic. Robbie Moore MP, will you lead the way at the negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty and push for a cut in production of at least 75% by 2040?

In this week’s Collected essay, Sarah Butler challenges the assumption that teaching creative writing is secondary to writing itself and explores how teaching has benefitted and shaped her own work. rlf.org.uk/showcase/teach…

The inside cover of our zine is a dedicated space for poetry. We've featured Sarah Butler, Andrew McMillan and Peter Bakowski. In the latest edtion (out now!), it's the turn of Jason Allen-Paisant, who you can catch at this year's Manchester Literature Festival: ow.ly/ghj050PTkQE

Absolutely loved this by Helen Mort. Evocative, moving, totally absorbing.

Just gobbled up THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS by Jessamine Chan. Fabulous. Heart breaking. Razor-sharp. I hugged my kids extra hard tonight. waterstones.com/book/the-schoo…

This is such sad news... Levenshulme Councillors @Afzal4Gorton

I am so sorry to hear about this. I was enjoying the market in the sun only a couple of weeks ago.

I will be reaching out to the directors and @levycllrs to see how we can get the market up and running again as soon as possible.

This took me right back to Brussels! A great group of writers :)

Looking forward to this event in Gorton on 10th June, part of Manchester City of Literature's #FestivalofLibraries : manchestercityofliterature.com/event/the-stor… Free! #Gorton #Manchester #writingplace

'I’ve always been a bit scared of poetry,' writes Sarah Butler in this week's essay in Collected. 'Poetry felt like a house I didn’t have the key for.' But as Sarah learned more about poetry, she started to see poetry as a place to play.
