In the first of our new series of films in collaboration with the Adrian Brinkerhoff Foundation, the poet Marjorie Lotfi reads from 'The Hebridean Crab Apple'. The film is directed by Savannah Acquah bit.ly/42EqUTq

In this stunning Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation /writersmosaic film directed by Savannah Acquah, Marjorie Lotfi is filmed reciting the final poem from her Forward Prizes-winning debut collection The Wrong Person to Ask. writersmosaic.org.uk/insight/the-he…

‘It's this depth that I’ve found most satisfying in Lotfi’s work, the way her past is inescapable and shapes her thinking about the present.' - D.A. Prince, The Friday Poem, on Marjorie Lotfi's debut The Wrong Person to Ask. A wonderful in-depth review. thefridaypoem.substack.com/p/the-friday-p…

My package sent by Yodel is no where to be found. I complained, was sent the left picture. Not at #1, we drove through the nearby villages looking for that door and failed. Today I got an email saying it HAD been delivered - and the photo on the right. ANYONE SEEN IT?!

The fun continues. Someone rang me from a mobile number (?) and eventually asked me to download Lemfy (then told me what my password NEEDED to be) in order to return the money. I asked if I could phone Yodel back and now they know nothing… is this FRAUD?!

Moral of the story - don’t buy more than one thing from Vinted at a time unless you’re there to receive the package and confirm what is in it. (I had several packages come at once and wasn’t there to open them.)
