Adding my voice to those supporting Jo. The unpaid work she does in the service of poetry is untenable and something I already reached out to her about last month. And YES, DO consider people’s histories before slinging sh*t (and more generally, stop there).

I’m back (pile of books = spoils of travel). It may be a few days before I get caught up on emails - currently jet lagging hard….

Thrilled to be a part of this anthology!

Isn't life wild? Thank you Windham-Campbell Prizes ... with all my heart ... and congratulations to the other recipients 💚

Oh you wonder Jen Hadfield! So deserving.

People keep sending me these pics - just lovely ❤️

Wonderful line-up for this year's Newcastle Poetry Festival, 9-11 May, incl. events with Carolyn Forché, Marjorie Lotfi, Imtiaz Dharker, John Challis, #FleurAdcock , T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted poets Jane Clarke & Abigail Parry, plus Georgian poet Diana Anphimiadi & her translators.

A courtyard place has opened on our 19th-25th May at our Galloway House Estate writing retreat on the SW coast of Scotland (it’s been fully booked since December) - DM for info!

You might be surprised to hear that I’ve also written a children’s book with two amazing women, three stories of migration ⬇️

Did you know that I do a little Open Book podcast every month with Claire Urquhart? Give it a listen!

Happy Nowrus!
