It was #NationalPoetryDay this week so we couldn't resist sharing our Fellow Prof. Richard Dance (1997) reading the opening lines of 'Beowulf', in both Modern & Old English. Catz students at @department-asnc.bsky.social enjoy studying this epic poem >1000 years after it was first written.

Remember when Liverpool was overrun by Lambananas? 🐑🍌
For National Poetry Day 2026 and its theme of Wonder, I’ve written The Year the Lambananas Roamed Free — inspired by Liverpool’s! ✨

National Poetry Day 2026 celebrates the power and emotion of the written and spoken word.

It invites everyone—from seasoned writers to curious beginners—to honor the craft, share stories, and enjoy a poem.

Today on #NationalPoetryDay, we're thinking about the healing power of the written word with this poem kindly provided by our client, Tony ✍️

What poems resonate with you or have helped you feel seen? We would love to hear them.

Amphitheatre of the soul, by Tony

I share my tale here
In this amphitheatre of the soul
I wade through emotional quagmire – 
Emptiness, rage, love, 
hope, hate, empathy, 
compassionAs I weave this tapestry of experience – 
The threads strands of my soul – 
Dark and Light, woof and weft. 
The audience - my peers 
My fellow travellers who do not turn away.Sun and Shadow, Earth and Moon 
Spirit and matter 
Conspire to build this place of shared experience 
Where reality branches 
In paths of hope.

'Tiger Lily' grew from a creative partnership with Susan Richardson. It was a lot of fun to work with Susan. This is my favourite poem from Tiger Lily, which Susan wrote in response to a watercolour painting of my children.
#NationalPoetryDay

The front cover of Tiger Lily features a painting of the moon, stars and clouds. The graphic includes a quote from Steve Denehan: "This is a book unlike any other. It is as though we are hearing, seeing and sometimes almost a part of the subconscious workings of both Susan and Jane. The poems have a quiet power, are often mournful yet full of hope as Susan searches, and finds, some understanding of herself and her place in the world. There is so much silence here, so much delicacy and this is reflected beautifully by the accompanying paintings. It is as though Jane can read between the lines Susan has written. The poems showcase a writer at the height of her powers and an artist capable, somehow, of painting dreams. They are so perfectly in tune that it almost appears that there is an overlap between the minds of both." My favourite poem from Tiger Lily is called In The Cradle of a Whisper.
'She watches them sleeping,
resting in the cradle of a whisper, 
a secret only they share.
They are petals drifting
side by side in a painted pink sky,
clouds billowing, a breath of blue.
They are fairy dust and magic, 
joy at full volume,
the best part of every day.
They are lilacs blooming,
love that fuels the sun,
laughter that fills the sky.
She watches them dream,
wonders,
will they always be this close?'
Susan Richardson

For #NationalPoetryDay I recorded Prufrock. (The 2 parts are in the thread👇.) Again, I found the value of reading poetry out loud. I’ve known the poem for years. But reading it, taking more note of the epigraph, was a revelation. I met a new Prufrock. I’ll meet another if I read it again #poemsaloud
