Story, Poem and Inspiration Point of the Week

This week I've chosen two pieces steeped in history, time and place. I'm sure you'll find them a rich, transporting read. Story of the Week goes to Markle for his stunning travel autobiography 'Wild Venice', full of detail and historical insight. Poem of the Week goes to Philip Sidney for 'Not a Shakespearian Sonnet' a delicate, beautifully written tribute to the great man himself. Congratulations to both.

It's the May Bank Holiday weekend, so please, give us some sun. Traditionally, Beltane was a festival of fire lighting to mark the beginning of summer. This week's IP is to write prose or fiction around the theme of fire.
