Today, I'm performing my poem 'Miss Una Marson Speaks', commissioned by Southwark Libraries, at the official opening of the library in her name. Wish me luck! 🦋 southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark…

What a relief to have missed so many lit mag submission deadlines yesterday

BBC News - Una Marson: Library honouring first black BBC radio producer opens - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It was wonderful to have been part of this celebration and acknowledgement of Una Marson. The more I think of it, the more honoured I feel. instagram.com/p/C20eL1gMfht/…

Highly recommend. I think this is what dreams are *for*. I wrote about it here: wakeupscreaming.com/wes-viola-drea…

Very pleased this poem has found a home at Eunoia Review.

Congratulations and thanks to Eunoia Review for giving space to so much new writing (including 3 of my own: eunoiareview.wordpress.com/tag/wes-viola/)

Dreich's Hundredth and Final Issue is coming... I have been collecting poems for it already but here is an open call from Tuesday the 11th so everyone can have one last shot.

*Very* pleased to have two poems in this anthology - look how good it looks!

I don't think I ever dreamed that my 'Godzilla: Lizard Poet' pieces would be published by a bona fide poetry press... And yet - two of them are in this anthology from the stellar Broken Sleep Books, out this month. All I can say is, grawwrr! Rarrgh! Gr-arrgh!
