HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY to #RueCollinge whose #DisabledPoetsPrize winning pamphlet #HowToTrainYourDragon is out today! Such a wonderful and rewarding work. You can get yours at our website here: vervepoetrybookshop.com/product-page...

Publishing day! My pamphlet ‘How to train your Dragon’ is out now with @vervepoetrypress.bsky.social - awarded the @disabledpoets.bsky.social for 2025 by the fantastic @jamierhale.bsky.social , @pollyrowena.bsky.social and @mailbykite.bsky.social . Today’s dragon is a heavy one but my heart is full.

Today I went for a walk without my dog, which I forget is allowed! Not taking her meant I could use the bus, which meant I could go somewhere beautiful, and sit on a stone in the sun, and breathe in the spring, which is rushing headlong into blossom. Awaken, little soul.

Can’t believe I don’t have to stay quiet anymore - I’m winner of the Disabled Poets Prize 2025 for my pamphlet ‘How to Train Your Dragon’, which will be published with @vervepoetrypress.bsky.social soon! Breathless and buzzing! Congratulations to Oli Isaac for their poem and all those shortlisted.

Absolutely over the moon to announce that my pamphlet ‘How to train your Dragon’ has been shortlisted for the #DisabledPoetsPrize 2025!
