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! ✨

A day late, but Happy #NationalPoetryDay. Sharing this 'spine poem' I recently wrote, thanks to the challenge set by the lovely Amy and Paul at the Bangor Literary journal where it will feature 😀
'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.

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
