Still buzzing over the weekend with @saloneurope.bsky.social in Brussels. Old friends, new friends, genuinely blown away by the talent in the room. Here's Belgian poet and hip hopper Giovanni Baudonck's performance, inspired by Turner's painting "The Slave Ship." He brought the typhoon alright.

Sad to leave Brussels after the @saloneurope.bsky.social - a whole weekend in a lovely city with a big gang of amazing writers for inspiration, talk, sharing and howls of laughter - what could be better? Bravo to @deborahzafer.bsky.social and the management team! 🙌🏽🎉✨💜

A fabulous weekend at the inaugural @saloneurope.bsky.social in Brussels. Amazing panels, readings, workshops, and writerly chat at the gorgeous Full Circle. Roll on Madrid in September 2026! 📚🇧🇪✍️📕📘📚

I won’t be able to speak for the next three days, but my heart has never been fuller. We dreamed of creating a European salon, and we tried our best. But it was your talent, enthusiasm, and warmth that surpassed every expectation. Thank you for bringing @saloneurope.bsky.net to life with us.

So much to say about yesterday @saloneurope.bsky.social but above all - it couldn't have happened without our Management Committee. Not just powerhouses, also standout writers & friends. So grateful 👑 @kplumhoff.bsky.social @bdiggswrites.bsky.social @royakhatiblou.bsky.social @norami.bsky.social
