I'll be reading from my @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social book, The Point Is You Are Alive, alongside @marymulholland.bsky.social Wendy Allen and @alicehiller.bsky.social, at The Poetry Cafe, Tuesday 28th October, 7pm-9pm! Free tickets here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/outrageous...

The earliest poem in this collection was written in 2012, the most recent in 2024... twelve years and two pamphlets later this book is in the world - The Point Is You Are Alive! @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social

We read and responded to prose poems by Anne Boyer, Margaret Atwood and @natalie-whittaker.bsky.social ❤️ 💙 💜

Lovely to hear that you're teaching my poems @julieirigaray.bsky.social !

The online launch of my new book 'The Point Is You Are Alive' is on Wednesday 30th April at 8pm. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/broken-sle...

It'd be lovely if you could join me online to celebrate the publication of my latest @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social publication, 'A hobby of mine'. 30 April from 8pm, and I'll be in some fine poetic company as you can see from the below. Link: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/broken-sle...

My first full collection, 'The Point Is You Are Alive' is now available to pre order from Broken Sleep Books @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social . Publication date is 30th April. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

My favourite SE London poet (a brilliant working-class writer too) Natalie Whittaker, formerly published by Oxford Brookes Poetry Centre's #ignitionpress, publishes her first full collection with Broken Sleep Books soon, and we should all be excited: www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

PREORDER (30.04.2025): The Point Is You Are Alive moves between intimate recollection and sharp social observation. Whittaker’s poetry inhabits the raw spaces between grief and persistence, presence and absence. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...
