This week I am extremely grumpy about the Poet Laureate. #SimonArmitage's latest effort is a genuine puzzle: how can sophomoric dross interspersed with line breaks qualify as #poetry? Is ours not the language of Spenser, Milton, Pope, Elizabeth Barret Browning, Emily Dickinson, etc?

A refreshing start to the year, walking to one of the #StanzaStones #poems by #SimonArmitage near #Oxenhope, then listening to #KateBush as we drove away across the wuthering moors…

Have any medievalists listened to Simon Armitage's the translation of the Owl and the Nightingale on BBC Sounds? I haven't read the poem since I was an undergrad but I enjoyed this a lot - the two readers are terrific https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001dn8h #TheOwlAndTheNightingale #SimonArmitage

Where does the hand become the wrist? Where does the neck become the shoulder? The watershed / and then the weight, whatever turns up and tips us over that / razor’s edge / between something and nothing, between / one and the other.

From the poem "Gooseberry Season" by Simon Armitage
