On Sylvia Plath's birthday, I'm remembering last year's #PlathFest! Such a fantastic gathering of poets, scholars, and Plath afficianados; it was an honour to play a part in making it happen.

Exciting news!!! My first ever chapbook is ready for preorder. I started writing it way back in 2019 and I'm so glad to be sharing it now. You can preorder here:
