My first gig as Manchester City Poet is coming up next Friday, 9 May @ateneubcn.cat as part of Barcelona Poesia. To say i am excited & honoured is an understatement. Thanks so much to @mcrcityoflit.bsky.social & Barcelona City of Lit for this fantastic opportunity www.barcelona.cat/barcelonapoe...

Chats, laughs, fresh air and cake: this is what it's like on @joyridersuk.bsky.social's women's rides! Find out more and book onto a ride... www.joyriders.org.uk/manchester

Excited to have a poem in the latest issue of @thealchemyspoon.bsky.social, thanks to @marymulholland.bsky.social & team for including it πŸ™πŸΌ

No new poems published this year and I think that is ok. Two coming out next year and another exciting bit of poetry news to be announced shortly too. I am still writing, poetry is still bringing me joy and allowing me to meet lots of interesting folk, and that's what counts. Happy new year all! πŸ’πŸ₯‚

The fourth poem in PERVERSE 8K is 'Anyone can hide like this.' by Vasiliki Albedo (@minorroarr). Read all five poems in this section here: perverse.substack.com/p/perverse-8k

Really enjoyed this short book and I'm looking forward to seeing the movie with Cilian Murphy tonight. Has anyone else seen it/read the book? I found it such a great meditation on the futility of the grind, human conscience and family.
