I am grateful to @magmapoetry.bsky.social & @zoebrigley.bsky.social (thanks to @carcanet.bsky.social for alerting me) for the review of The Strongbox: 'Dugdale is certainly performing very subtle and subversive work, writing about violence with an awareness of the flawed nature of storytelling.'

Fantastic essay by @lenaozge.bsky.social up on @modronmagazine.bsky.social 💚💚💚

Supporting independent poetry publishers makes poetry the coolest person at the indie disco.

A short film I wrote, filmed by Nathan Roach (Coal Poet Media), 'The Dunes', exploring the perspective of a runaway kid finding sanctuary in a desolate duneland on the Welsh coast. Huge thanks to Nathan for the beautiful images of #Kenfig #poetry #wales www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPkB...
