The wonderful Mary Shelley was born on this day in 1797. Here’s one of my poems that was published earlier this year in Magma (issue 91), in which I imagine us bonding over our shared experience of young widowhood.

Well, this novel was an emotional rollercoaster! ‘The Safekeep’ by Yael van der Wouden is an intimate, compelling portrait of two women whose lives become intertwined in more ways than one. It’s beautifully written and I enjoyed it immensely; I’m not surprised it won the Women’s Prize for Fiction.

Grateful to have a #FathersDay poem on picking yarrow and dementia in the latest of Dust Poetry Magazine. This is a gorgeous online mag full of ideas of mythology, memory and oscillating relationships. Read my #poem here: www.dustpoetry.co.uk/post/yarrow-...

Another train journey, another chance to catch up on my relaxed #sealeychallenge reading. This one’s a reread and a favourite of mine.

For my latest #sealeychallenge read, I’ve been spending time in the company of trees. ‘Arboreal’ by @corinnaboard.bsky.social is wide-ranging and richly evocative, full of the magic and wisdom of the forest. Absolutely beautiful 🌳🌳🌳

I recently attended a @ninearchespress.bsky.social masterclass on form with Erica Hesketh and completely fell in love with Erica’s poetry. This is some of the most honest and insightful writing on early motherhood I’ve come across - an astonishing debut collection.
