Hello all. A lot of you were kind enough to help A last year: an extraordinary student who nearly had to drop out of her course due to lack of funds. You saved her. Many people asked if they could help in future. A is facing the same challenge this year crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-a-regis…

The BPI 2024 Annual Reader Ben Okri in this week's Guardian: "For too long literature has been defined narrowly by one set of people. But being human is a vast thing, and that very vastness will stretch and even re-imagine how the human experience can be expressed in literature."

Ben Okri's poetry reading Bristol Poetry Institute was beautiful, including his aborted attempt to read "my mother is sleeping". I would likely "become a child again" if I tried to read something about my late parents again in public, too. #africanwriter #poetry Bristol SML
