Unsolicited writing advice, no. 7:

Reading with this beaut on Monday in Oxford. Come along and say hello!

‘it reaches well outside of the poetry community, avoiding too much of the wilful abstraction, or crazed navel-gazing, many poets get lost in’

This looks like it will be a belter of a reading, and for an important cause too.

This will be a beaut of an evening. Come along to Read on Sea in Leigh on Sea on 26th April

*adds to reading list immediately *

Bloody delighted with this review from @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social. Thank you!

To be placed on the poetry smorgasbord ‘somewhere between @carolinebirduk.bsky.social, Liz Berry and the smoked salmon’ is an epithet I want printed on a t shirt!

Rewriting my post I was being way too polite: fuck off to this fascism, fuck this bigotry, fuck this ignorance and hatred. I stand with Love, I stand with freedom, I stand with choice and autonomy and human rights, I stand in solidarity with all of my trans friends and family 🏳️‍⚧️

Looking forward to reading at Between The Lines bookshop in Great Bardfield tomorrow evening (17th). Come along and join us for some poetry if you’re in the area!

Hooray! Thanks so much Sarah. I shall scurry back to the BD edition to reread your poem there later this afternoon x

Karan thank you so so much! Appreciate you hugely xxxx

Love seeing the book landing in the wild!

We will do more days like this. (I still think you should have bought the cape!)

This makes me so happy. Thank you! 👗❤️

Thank you! 🤩
