... and here it is. My writing spot for the next 2 days #Hull

After Jamaica, Liverpool, Bristol, London, Margate, Rome & Port Elizabeth, I've come to Hull to visit the house of William Wilberforce. It's hit me harder than anticipated. (The bottom photo is a Weatherspoons). The Island That's Hard To Find In English (at Nelson Mandela Gardens)

In Hull. I'm greeted by Phillip Larkin #poetry (at Hull Train Station)

A few of my former students / young poets are in the paper after their A-level results helped keep Hackney's achievement rates way above the national average. Very proud #education

Spotted in the crowd at Sunday Assembly. Church for Atheists in 2014. This was a birthday present for my sister. We don't do gifts, we do experiences.

Keep coming back to this Migration Wall. It's a place we all have a story of longing & belonging. #AdoptingBritain #Southbank (at Royal Festival Hall)

Article on how I intertwined my identity as a poet & a teacher http://applesandsnakesblog.org/blog/raymond-antrobus-spoken-word-an-education

After last nights packed midnight Chill Pill show. Me & fellow poet educator, Christian Foley got to poem & speak on poetry in education on the Wilderness Stage. A very inspiring crowd. When we offered our "alternative vision of how education is received, given, assessed & appreciated" the crowd gave such a huge cheer I teared up.
