Got to see Louisa Hodgson's stunning 'The Collingwood Monument, Tynemouth, Trafalgar Night' at Laing Art Gallery for the first time in several years again today. The image featured on the cover of my first Blue Diode Press poetry collection and is even more impressive in person.

This is an outstanding book. Shereen's poems are wide awake, sensual, painful, courageous, strikingly contemporary - and important. Everybody should read them. Blue Diode Press

Fiona Moore's second collection, Okapi, is available from Blue Diode Press. A single poem, split into sections, set on a Scottish island. Loss, landscape, politics, grief and determination - it's all in here. The distant okapi is somehow never far away. bluediode.co.uk/product-page/o…

I met a lot of Trumps in my industry, and I met a lot of people who called themselves “artists” then chose vanity over humanity because it bought them fame. We can live in a world without this manipulation, but we’ll have to choose to do so. Believe me, they don’t make it easy.
