PERITO PRIZE 2022: AN INTERVIEW WITH 2022’s RUNNER UP Ella Walsworth-Bell

Yay here's me talking to Abigail Ottley, poet formerly known on X...

Crossed fingers for everyone who has @ace_national Dycp applications in process…we’ve done well simply to write ourselves special.

Am loving this series (via catch up) with Vanessa Kissule @bbc atm. Fun and fascinating.

Topical, and I love it. Thank you Danez Smith.

Poems to read as the tide comes in @kimmoorepoet

Very very good. Clever. Is it poetry? Or prose? Genre-bending literature that expands my understanding of Chile, and of Chileans. Thank you for lending it to me, Ulrike.

We used a poem by @theferocity this morning in our writing workshop. The Mississippi is a different place to the Penryn River, but we got there. Magic.

Freshwater mixing with salt, waters edge this morning. Beware- noisy sea! Preparing myself mentally for running a poetry workshop for Falmouth Fringe. It went great- talented writers, good coffee, quiet room, focus and inspiration.

@Will_Musgrove Audio books (of poetry, natch) are also good for this.

So lovely to hear poems by @ShuttlePenelope and @KatrinaNaomi today @WBCornwall thank you to Falmouth Poetry Group for arranging.

@MZarrop I like this poem, good for this time of the year when herons seem more visible on the riverbanks, their grey silvered against the shoreline.

Backwards poem research- anyone else ever read a poem (Chernobyl brides @CarolineBirdUK) and gone backwards to find the source of inspiration? Seeking the springboard? I loved uplifting and poignant (hey I sound a little like a reviewer!)

@MissLizBerry 40 is the time to start…it’s all in your head until then! @MorvorenProject

Boatyard. Time to lift the vessels out of the water for the winter. Looking out the window today…not quite yachting weather.

RT @Julwe1: Delighted to have a poem on the wonderful @AtriumPoetry

Apple recipe, twitterverse. Give me apple recipes. The tree has given its all. I have apple rings, apple cobbler, apple juice, cider…any more?

@susie_dent Body is bone-house. My favourite example of kennings is Carol Ann Duffy’s Trump poem.

From Sea Summit by Yi Lu. I love poetry that has been translated, when it’s printed next to the original. This one is ‘My Own Sea’. What would yours look like?

@Tim_Hannigan No-one could vine about that, surely?!

Thanks to my friends daughter, I’ve discovered a love of TS Eliot- The Waste Land. How can I not have loved this before? Magic.
