🎧A brilliant listen, here's Erica Hesketh & @jennypagdin.bsky.social talking about the Poetry of Motherhood @writerscentre.bsky.social #podcast: shaping their stories, exploring memory & experimenting with form, sharing poems & connecting with readers nationalcentreforwriting.org.uk/writing-hub/...

What a complete privilege to chat all things poetry, mental health and mothering with the talented Erica Hesketh !

Tonight! 🙏🏼 One of the most exciting things abt writing a prose debut that smuggles in poetry at various turns is that I’ve met ppl at signings saying ‘Poetry’s not for me… But I might try it now.’ #Poetry #TryItNow

And hot on its heels .... an equally strong but incredibly different read is Sue Burge 's Watch it Slowly Fade, a harrowing, tender, beauty drenched lament for what's happening to us all as passengers on our one planet.... don't miss out!

Simply fizzing with admiration for Olivia Tuck's wondrous pamphlet, Things Only Borderlines Know, which I've been fortunate enough to read this week. Linguistically fertile, honest and palpable and lived. Big recommend!

Happy bookiversary to The Snow Globe, one year old today. Thank you @ninearchespress.bsky.social for being the best publisher anyone could ask for. Photo credit Andi Sapey
