Fabulous news for the Fab Vanessa Kisuule

Looking forward to reading this! Congratulations Dzifa Afi Benson
Beautiful cover too!

Beyond thrilled that His Majesty's Gold Award for poetry excellence has been awarded to Mimi Khalvati. In addition to an extraordinary body of writing, I cannot think of anyone who has done more to nurture and shape British poetry, especially poets of colour.

What an amazing start to publication day 🎉🎉🎉 it was such a pleasure to talk to the wonderful Chloe Timms on what has become the most beautiful rite of passage for a debut author!!

WOW, this amazing! I love Booktime Magazine Thank you so much!

Poets are still routinely dismissed as having their heads in the clouds, but I think it takes real power to withstand everyday stresses and big life challenges AND still sit down to write from the Heart. Here's to all of us who continue to do so. 🦋📚💚💃🏾

Our 2024 events begin next week! Here's what we've got coming up: lrb.me/events

Here's a list of events I'll be doing in January and February to launch Rapture's Road into the world. I'll put the links below, and they're also here: seanehewitt.com/readings

Would be great to see at one of them:

The Poetry Society ‘Monster’ by Dzifa Afi Benson from Bloodaxe Books in Oct is 🔥, ‘The Island in the Sound’ by Niall Campbell also Bloodaxe, ‘Rapture’s Road’ by Seán Hewitt, ‘The Jaguar’ by Sarah Holland-Batt, loads more!

Hampshire based poets, this looks good. A £4000 fee over a two year tenure and lots of opportunities to connect and engage...I'd apply for it myself if I was local!
