Thanks so much to @livecanon.bsky.social and to judge Abigail Parry for choosing my poem as winner of the Live Canon competition! Still a bit in shock to be honest. Congrats also to all long-and shortlisted fellow poets and to the actors for reading tonight 💙#chufferghasted

Welp, ok, if you need me I’ll be in my thinking/weeping room, having read this poem by Michael Bazzett (“We’ll make the whole enterprise smell of mint”)

Oh. Good.

It was really difficult to choose which poem today because Kathryn Bevis wrote so many beautiful ones & it still hurts that we lost her too soon. But I love this poem so dearly & it's the perfect title poem for her stunning collection: @olivergolding.bsky.social www.serenbooks.com/2024/03/frid...

It was really great to see Kathryn’s ‘The Butterfly House’ get a mention in Rishi Dastidar’s The Best Poetry Books of 2024 www.theguardian.com/books/2024/d...
