Very much enjoying the #hayfestival2023 this weekend

Really engaging and fun discussion between recent and well-deserved Swansea Uni. Dylan Thomas Prize winner Arinze Ifeakandu and jury panel member Jon Gower.
Ifeakandu’s short story collection “God’s Children Are Little Broken Things” is packed with detail, and often a phrase stops you in your tracks. Heart wrenching and totally immersive. #HayFestival2023 #PrideMonth

Drove a special someone to #HayFestival2023 to attend the #RaynorWinn and #ChrisLewis talk, so it seemed churlish not to patronise the festival bookshop and #OxfamBookshop...

OK, Hay can be quite busy when people are rushing to their next event, but sometimes it’s just you and a good book. #HayFestival2023

For those on a budget, or wanting to catch something spontaneous and unticketed—the BBC Marquee events 👍.
Essentially radio prog. recordings: great discussions, chance to hear participants live.

Yesterday’s BBC Culture event on Children’s books had:

- Jeffrey Boakye (teacher & author of ‘Musical Truth’—fabulous history of black music culture in UK)
- Julia Eccleshare (Children's Books editor for The Guardian)
-Michael Rosen (children’s author and tenacious survivor).

Callum Scott Howells and director Luke J Collins were very enlightening and entertaining in their recounting of the making ‘On the Black Hill’for ‘The Read’ series. #HayFestival2023

Did I mention I'm returning to the Hay festival this year? Talking about repatriation, rehabilition and reintegration of children associated with terrorism. Well I am! Building on my research and collaboration with UN and EU organisations, I'm super excited to be talking about it. PS - there is a gender based security lens of course! #HayFestival2023
