It's been a tough time lately & sometimes hard to share about but one thing I have promised myself & my beloveds is that I wouldn't hide my recent news that the #cancer I had in 2022 has recurred. The #NHS is doing its brilliant thing & taking on to save my life all over again 💚

It's the 10th anniversary of my mam's death. The night before, I left her to drive to a ferry that would take me from her. As I drove, I passed a burning house; a rage in the swallowing dark. It wounds me still. I wrote this poem for her: my mam, a fable at her birth & her dying.

Next week’s TopTweetTuesday #poetry host. Margaret Royall Margaret Royall is back with style with this shelfie from Lindum Books, Lincoln.

We are thrilled to hear the Home Office has overturned its decision and has now issued Soukaina Habiballah with a visa.

StAnza is now working hard with our partners to reinstate Soukaina's event as planned and look forward to welcoming her to Scotland.

Such a gift to see #FadiasTree in Evanton tonight & to hear the outstandingly talented Director Sarah Beddington speak about opening up to curiosity, empathy & friendship as she found herself making a film about the vision, passion & hope of one Palestinian in exile. See it, do.
