Looking forward to this workshop tonight on modern Japanese women's tanka poetry ✍️✨

Really enjoyable #poetry reading by @corrintachibana.bsky.social and Ken Evans tonight at Sheffield Hallam Uni (for the launch of the latter’s book A Full-On Basso Profundo): I’d recommend catching one of their other readings together…

One place remaining on this workshop this evening after someone sadly had to pull out last minute. Come join us! Always good to have a full house! www.tickettailor.com/events/thepo...

I can't do this course, unfortunately, I have other commitments, but having done workshops with @corrintachibana.bsky.social I am certain it will be a wonderful experience.

Looking forward to helping Ken Evans launch his new SALT collection next week @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #1006: Much of a writer’s creative time is spent away from the desk and screen. Nourish your creativity by consciously experiencing life: by talking to people; asking questions; recording dreams; by noticing sounds, scents, scenes, sensations.

Today’s poem from the new issue is Izakaya by Alexandra Corrin-Tachibana. Read it here: www.dustpoetry.co.uk/post/izakaya...

Looking forward to teaching again for @poetrybusiness.bsky.social a week today. Check it out here: www.tickettailor.com/events/thepo...
