City of Literature festival by National Centre for Writing x Norfolk & Norwich Festival is DONE! Thank you artists! Thank you audiences! Thank you volunteers! Some programme changes, athletic pivots & outrageous weather, but our extraordinary team braved & bossed all. Blessed to work alongside them ❤️

We've had a very exciting proof delivery in the office!

Must be true. Made my day anyway.
Look at the shadows too of nut, mouse, tail! 🐁

It’s a sad fact that published poets still need affirmation, buzz, or whatever you call it, beyond the debut is a superstore with up and down escalators. The debut collection is only the beginning, though it feels like the ultimate goal. Gird your loins for the rollercoaster

Happy Unboxing Day to me - a dream come true ✨✨

For Such a Time as This will be out in the world on 20th June 💛💛

Enkosi kakhulu to you, Sandile - it was a fine thing to attend your poetry panel Franschhoek Lit Fest, a rich many-languaged hour to close my festival. Glad those A Fold in the Map mosquitoes still nip & sound across the distance.
Love too your 'Feint & margin. Renewal'. The poets' way.

So exciting to bring out a new edition of a much-loved title. Snake first came out in 2011, to critical acclaim. Now that the movie has been made and was released earlier this month, we are bringing out a new movie tie-in edition.

“I tell people, Make a list of ten things you hate and tear them down in a short story or poem. Make a list of ten things you love and celebrate them. When I wrote ‘Fahrenheit 451’ I hated book burners and I loved libraries. So there you are” —Ray Bradbury buff.ly/3KFbIxh

Fallen out of all regularity of writing. In the open air a great deal.. Strength seemingly inaccessible to me today (already inaccessible).
