Congratulations!! 🥳

This poem was first published in our Winter 2021 issue, 57.2

Delighted that my poem 'The True Story of a Sable Maid in the 18th Century' is being shared by the wonderful Poetry Wales. News of the abuse suffered by Francesca Amewudah-Rivers for daring to play Juliet has gone quiet. Here's hoping it's gone away. 🦋

Its all about the banter in this week's #HowIWriteAPoem , as Zoë Brigley Thompson and Laurie Bolger talk scaffolders, gender dynamics, and having a dash --- obsession
