It was an honour serving as a judge for the Harlow Open 2026 together with Imogen Wade. @imogen-wade-poetry.bsky.social Reading the poems over the past few weeks was a beautiful reminder of how much heart is out there! Congrats to all the winners & thank you to the organizers. 🤍 #HarlowPoetry

What an amazing experience to judge the Harlow Open Poetry Competition 2026 with @carmellapoetry.bsky.social, with an award ceremony today at Harlow Playhouse. I also ran community poetry workshops at Harlow Museum. Entries increased since last year, as poetry is a thriving art form in Harlow!

Have you joined our Human Authored scheme yet? We've been delighted with the response so far, so thank you all for your efforts. We're processing everyone as fast as we can. Sarah Hall, author of Helm, is absolutely right; we must protect the integrity and cultural value of creators.

GIRL, SWOONING is available now 📖❤️‍🔥 “Wade brings to her work a distinctive blend of lyrical intensity, philosophical reflection and emotional candour. She is deeply interested in the limits of language: how poetry can articulate experiences that lie beyond ordinary speech.” - The Madrid Review

I’m so pleased to confirm that my debut poetry collection (and first book!) GIRL, SWOONING will be published 5 March 2026 by Corsair Poetry, a Hachette imprint. It’s available to pre-order now. www.waterstones.com/book/girl-sw...

We are disappointed but not surprised that Meta has used millions of pirated books to develop its AI systems. As a matter of urgency, Meta needs to compensate the rightsholders of all the works it has been exploiting. But what can authors do? Read here: societyofauthors.org/2025/03/21/t...

‘Message’, first published by The London Magazine 🦗 🌙

we’re going to have to talk sensibly and honestly about the ramifications of this very soon. for literature, for publishing, for the assessment of talent, for the creative writing degree. Anyway - first time I’ve read any AI fiction or poetry and thought: Oh. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
