One of three ‘interludes’ in ‘All But Forgotten’, a sequence in my book Come Here to This Gate (@carcanet.bsky.social, 2024). I probably wouldn’t have written these 3 poems without Tony Harrison’s From the School of Eloquence. He gave us direct, moving poems, and I’ve wanted more of them ever since.

Tonight! Join us at The Bridge Inn in Bristol for the launch of ‘Why I Wear My Past to Work’. With six top Bristol poets followed by open mic! 🎉 From 7pm! 🎙️ @tomsastry.bsky.social @basementofmybrain.bsky.social @sophiedumont.bsky.social @parlyareepress.bsky.social

@lozzawriting.bsky.social’s ‘Motherbunnet’ is sharp and intimate while laced with humour and honesty as she uncovers motherhood. I really connected to Laura’s poems, among favs is: ‘I could complain all day about the state of my knees’. It’s a must-read!
