Thank you to The High Window for publishing my poem in their summer issue alongside so many wonderful poems. thehighwindowpress.com/category/poetr…

First time in bloomin' ages I did a poetry workshop. Did a fantastic one today with Laurie Bolger & The Emma Press. Lots of ideas to work on now.

A mistake is forgetting to add salt to rice, it is not deliberately bombing a safe zone.

I have a new poem on LondonGrip today, on my mother's first daughter and the sister I nearly had. Great to read work from Emma_Lee1 and Dr Pam Thompson in there too. londongrip.co.uk/2024/05/london…

And the day comes to a close with the hot water tap exploding and steaming hot water filling the kitchen... under control now, I hope.

Congratulations, Jo! xx

i.m. Geoff Hattersley (1956-2024) Geoff Hattersley, who died yesterday, was one of the most outstanding but underrated poets of his generation... roguestrands.blogspot.com/2024/06/im-geo…

Was very sad to hear of the passing of Geoff Hattersley yesterday. I loved his poetry... and I never got to hear him read in public. 😔 His sad/funny tone reflected working class life beautifully.

It's always a joy to read these poems and so grateful and honoured to be chosen this week @TheFridayPoem
