This is Emily. Emily started my writing career when she visited my school from France when I was just 9. We spoke briefly and I scribbled down my address for her. It began a 30-year friendship through letters and later the internet. Now she has my book!

I have just finished my first read of the poetry collection by
@katiejenkinspoet.bsky.social
'wife:widow:witch'. It lives up to the promise of the collection's wonderful title. "my feet are match-tips blood red phosphorus striking the ground burning me away" Virtuoso. Bravo Katie. Longer review

Reviews like these mean so much to a poet. It’s a leap of faith releasing work, and it’s thanks to the brilliant
@alanparrywriter.co.uk
&
@thebrokenspine.co.uk
that mine is in the world. But no work is complete until it finds its readers. Thank you
@peterhowitt.bsky.social
for your insights 🙏 👰♀️🖤🧙♀️

It’s the season of giving, and we’re asking for one final push. We’ve never had arts council funding—we’ve built this prize ourselves. We’re so close to £5,000. If you believe in paying poets fairly, now is the time to give. 🔗

This is mind blowing 🤯 If you’ve ordered a copy - thank you 🙏 These poems are made of my very self. It is a wildly visceral yet logical conclusion of these last years that they are now in the world. Yours now, to bring yourselves to through your reading, if you’d like. 👰♀️🖤🧙♀️
