The mystery of Chernobyl’s wild horses Wild horses native to the steppes of Asia live now in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (Ukraine), with an expanding population, 34 years after the nuclear accident.

on the one hand, this is amazingly cool. on the other, would be nice if we didn’t have to have nuclear accidents to create rewilding / human-free areas… (article is from 2020, more recent one in replies) theconversation.com/the-mystery-...

Hugo the black and grey miniature schnauzer is sat on some grass side on to the camera. He’s not looking at the camera. He is wearing an orange collar. Behind him are some trees, backlit by the setting sun. The photo was taken 6 days ago in the New Forest.

I don’t mean to brag, but this is a masterclass in #Won’tLookWednesday, don’t you think? 🧡

Britain's waterways are vital resources for our communities, local economies, and wildlife - they must be protected, for people and planet.

That means taking a truly joined up approach to pollution, tackling sewage and agricultural pollution alike. #WorldWaterDay

Yes, absolutely! X

I have stage four cancer – there will be no cure, but death isn’t necessarily imminent: this is how it feels to live in the long middle When you are cured, the world cheers; when you are dying, it mourns. But when you are simply maintaining, the world is at a loss

This is what I live with, but melanoma. Far and away the best article I’ve read about living ‘in the long middle’. Please read. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

A blue square with text along the top reading 'Happy World Poetry Day! 21st March 2026'. Beneath the text is a white star with lots of points, surrounded by a circle of yellow dashes. In the middle of this is a photo of a hand holding up a microphone. Along the bottom of the square is text which reads 'Celebrating the power of poetry to transform, connect, and inspire'.

A dark purple square with an extract from a poem in white text. The extract reads: i think just now you must be walking perhaps down chapel turning briefly right perhaps on crown sharpening when the song you love spills generous from a passing car unspools into the night you might be walking now. Beneath the text is an illustration of a series of musical notes. The text at the bottom of the image reads 'from 'Night' by Safia Elhillo, The Poetry Review, Autumn 2018.

A green square with the following poem in black text: 'An empress tree grew in Yukyang, enduring years of frigid shade. Fortunately, it met a master craftsman who cut it for a black harp. When the harp was played, few understood the songs. Finally, the old music wisped away in smoke.' In the bottom right hand corner is a drawing of a harp in a tree. Next to this is text which reads ‘Remnants, Part I’ by Nansŏrhŏn, translated by Ian Haight and T’ae-yong Hŏ, The Poetry Review, Autumn 2017'.

A read square with white text along the top reading 'from ‘[’You’re still alive. You’re the very bottom...’]’ by Vasyl Stus translated by Alan Zhukovski'. Beneath this is an extract from the poem: Your soul’s about to rush away - a horse who tore his tether. Please tell me: are you still alive? Oh, really? Another flash of fire? The view around has gotten clearer, so much clearer now. You’re dazzled by the light. Beneath this is a simple illustration of a horse leaping, followed by the text 'The Poetry Review, Winter 2022'.

Happy World Poetry Day 🌍 To celebrate, we're giving away FREE access to our digital archive of The Poetry Review, so everyone can read some of the finest in modern poetry from round the globe. Until noon (GMT) on Thursday 26th March, you can access the archive at the link in our bio.
