A seriously un-heavy evening in my old neighbourhood in BA2 with the heroic @nigelplaner1.bsky.social celebrating his triumphant memoir Young Once – “Just a damn fine actor!” (Yes, I brought my own book. There may turn out to be a reason.) ✌🏽

Last poem in my new book “Travelling Light”

You wait years for your book to come out and then two come along at once. Fna fna fnaa! Travelling Light is my latest poetry collection.

Hi Heather, lm ok to do Radio Rotherham. In a couple of weeks though may have bit more time

I wrote something that is occassionally a little critical of the tiny cohort of dodgy blokes who are pushing AI. I thought I'd get a lot of pushback, but it seems many agree.

Finished it just over a week ago (hard back version). Very good 👍. Hadn’t appreciated how many things you’d done!! Thank you.

Mwah to your memwaaah 👌😀

Out in paperback this week. Young Once, My memwaaah

Fist bump to anyone else caught between the need to bow down & accept the dire, broken reality of the attention economy to continue surviving via their creativity & a desire to disconnect which becomes more vast, and more potentially vital to their sense of inner peace, with every year that passes.

I recently completed the audiobook of @nigelplaner1.bsky.social’s Young Once and I can’t recommend it enough. Joyful, funny, honest and beautiful. What a life lived (to date!).

I am not interested in being a person on Instagram, doing collaborative posts with people or filming myself talking to the camera. I want to be a person who fucks off away from the noise and works hard and writes better and better books for the rest of his life and then dies. Why is that not ok?

Thanks @chopmunky.bsky.social glad you liked it. Cheers

Paperback of Young Once, my memwaaa is out May 7th.

Haven’t seen this for a while!! It was brilliant to have the whole thing taken so seriously by BBC. Hilarious

I can’t work out why the defunct publishers didn’t just crowdfund the debt owed to the authors from their mates, by working like dogs to persuade generous people to help out, you know like the authors did in the first place to raise the money that was stolen.

Tacchi Morris Taunton October 17 Young Once see you there

It’s Bookshop Day so here’s a poem in celebration of all those amazing bookshops out there.

Hope you have a great launch on 4th October!

Looking forward to seeing.you @ Off The Self in Sheffield xx

Guys, you don't understand. I've got something real scary to lay on you, okay, so, like, sit down. I managed to get a signed one 😀 @nigelplaner1.bsky.social ✌️

That @herring1967.bsky.social has made me buy another book! This time it’s @nigelplaner1.bsky.social‘s Young Once. 🙄🤔🙂

@herring1967.bsky.social smashes is again with the wonderful @nigelplaner1.bsky.social interview! I’ve just purchased Young Once and can’t wait to get stuck in 😎 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/rhl…

Thanks Clare

@nigelplaner1.bsky.social really enjoyed the show tonight!

Off to Morecambe poetry fest this Saturday. Pleased to be invited by Henry Normal. Going to have a really good time, some of our poems may even rhyme. Others won’t of course. url:https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Lancaster/Morecambe-Winter-Gardens/Henry-Normal--Nigel-Planer/41286476/

Just been fed an ad for a film where the cast talk about how wonderful the adaptation of the book is, and where everyone says that the magic starts with the script, but no mention of the writer’s name (a mate). Carry, on, you weird disjointed star-wank industry, and don’t you DARE go changing!

Someone left a cake out in the rain

Today's bit of niceness... @nigelplaner1.bsky.social and his brother Roger are recording the songs they wrote in the very early 1970s and good grief, this a lovely bit of Witchseason-friendly acid-folk. nigelplaner.bandcamp.com/track/back-o...
