Really happy to see my name in The Telegraph this morning as one of this year’s Poetry Competition Highly Commended poets. Huge congratulations to the winner and the shortlisted poets 💛 This year’s theme was Mothers, which I explored in my poem The Phonetics of Love

As 2025 comes to an end, here are some highlights from my year. A year of learning, sharing poetry, and finding community. Being able to celebrate the wins of poets and friends I love, and to make space for each other in an industry with so little support and so much talent 🤍

Thanks to @poetrylondon.bsky.social for publishing my poem En la Meseta / On the Tableland in their Autumn Issue. It’s always such a treat to see the two versions appear side by side, letting readers experience the poem in both Spanish and English 💛💚

A really special evening reading from Nettles at the SPL! Felt so supported by my fellow Young Makars and a really lovely audience. Huge thanks to @byleaveswelive.bsky.social, and to everyone who came along 💚

Still buzzing that one of my favourite stories I’ve written found a home in the coolest mag 🦷

This Thursday, I’ll have the honour of reading from Nettles at the Scottish Poetry Library @byleaveswelive.bsky.social Ahead of it, I want to celebrate the four incredible poets who’ll be reading alongside me. Tickets are still available so come and join us! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nettles-a-...

Really excited to be celebrating another Edinburgh launch, this time at the Scottish Poetry Library, alongside four incredible poets and fellow Young Makars!

Had such a wonderful poetry-filled weekend ✨ My poem Nettles was The Scotsman’s poem of the Week on Saturday, followed by a magical visit to Little Sparta, Ian Hamilton Finlay’s ‘Garden Poem’, where I read alongside Janette Ayachi, Nasim Rebecca Asl and Chris Crawford to celebrate Ian’s centenary
